Nearly wiped out by the earthquake of 1970, Huaraz is not going to win any Andean-village beauty contests anytime soon, but it does have personality, and personality goes a long way. Dip into the thermal baths Baños Termales de Monterrey. A series of small wells and two large pools have mineral-rich waters that make the water look dark brown and rather unappealing. Take a tour to admire the Pastoruri’s mountain beauty, and the other rugged mountains, glistening lochs, breathtaking vistas.

A journey around the entire range has more than 100 miles of hard, exhilarating walking, where thin-air passes link jagged mountains, azure lakes and vast skies.
