Tyler and the team on their acclimatization hike (Tyler Nachand)
IMG guide Tyler Nachand reports that the Huayhuash Trek team had a nice acclimatization hike today, ascending from Huaraz (10,000 feet) to about 12,300 feet at Laguna (lake) Wilcacocha. Afterward, they had a relaxing lunch at our Peru guide Maximo’s refugio, with stunning views of the central and southern peaks of the Cordillera Blanca. Maximo and his family grow potatoes, wheat, and barley on their farm outside of Huaraz, in addition to being in the tour business. Tomorrow the team will do a second day of acclimatization hiking in the Huaraz area before they start the Huayhuash Trek. So far everyone is acclimatizing well and having a great time.
