Sorry to hear that you had to postpone your June 2020 trip. Huayhuash will still be waiting for you when it is safe again to travel. It is such a beautiful area and the trek is truly fabulous.

Our supported Huayhuash trek highlighted here with Quechuandes did have all food included as part of the price. This included not only breakfast, lunch and dinner, but also a bag of snacks (e.g., nuts, quinoa bars, etc.) to carry each day. Food was excellent and done by the designated cook on the trek – a mixture of Peruvian (e.g., causa) and European/American standards (e.g., pasta, mixed vegetables, etc.). If you have any food allergies (e.g., gluten-free) or restrictions (e.g., vegetarian/vegan) let the trekking agency know in advance so that they can adjust their shopping and menus accordingly.

Have a great trek this summer with your sons and brother!! It’s challenging, but so rewarding and beautiful.

Thank you very very much. Very inspiring and I am psyched to go with my brother and our two 15 yr old sons in June 2020

Great to hear that you’re planning to do the Huayhuash Trek later this year. It’s impossible for me to know exactly about whether 2 days of acclimatizing will be enough, but given that you already live at some altitude and are used to doing physical/outdoor things I think you’ll probably be OK. I would talk with the trekking agency you’re using for their acclimatization hike recommendations, but I would try and do the Laguna 69 hike on your 2nd day of acclimatization as this will push your body and help prepare you for the altitudes to come on the Huayhuash trek. Perhaps do the Lake Rajucolta hike (or similar) on the first, which would be a bit more of a challenge than the Lake Wilcacocha hike. Remember to take it very slow and drink LOTS of water.

Have a great trek!!

Yes, the altitudes in the Cordillera Blanca are pretty high! But, if you acclimatize properly in advance and go slowly, you should be fine. Have a great trip!
