Aug 5, 2024 – IMG guide Tyler Nachand reports that everyone made it to Lima, Peru yesterday with all their luggage. Well done, team! From there they traveled up north to the mountain town of Huaraz which is tucked in at the foot of the snowcapped Cordillera Blanca range. Their goal for the trip will be a circumnavigation of the nearby Corrdillera Huayhuash range, one of the world’s classic high mountain treks. Today the team had a nice acclimatization hike with our local guides Maximo and Michel, reaching an altitude of 12,300 ft at the Laguna (lake) Wilcachocha, where they had lunch. Now they are back in Huaraz for showers and dinner. All’s well in Peru!
