Highlights
The Pastoruri Glacier is located at 5000 m.a.s.l., even so, it is one of the few glaciers in South America that is easily accessible (reached on foot), where special equipment is not required to reach it. It is located within the Huascarán Biosphere Reserve and Huascarán National Park, thus providing it with a very particular ecosystem. It is located at a higher point than Mont Blanc (highest peak in the European Union). It is considered a route where you can see the effects of climate change and global warming. Possibly in a few years it will no longer be possible to visit.

About Huaraz
Huaraz, in Peru's Ancash region, is a high mountain town beneath the snow peaks of the Cordillera Blanca, the base for trekking and climbing.
Huaraz lies at about 3,000 metres in the Callejón de Huaylas valley, between the glaciated Cordillera Blanca to the east and the drier Cordillera Negra to the west. The town was rebuilt after the 1970 earthquake, so it is modern and low-rise; its setting is the draw, with Huascarán, Peru's highest mountain at 6,768 metres, standing nearby.
Top-ranked sights in Huaraz: Llanganuco Lakes (Lagunas Llanganuco), Mt. Alpamayo, Pastoruri Glacier.
