  • Sitting at 10,000 feet in elevation, Huaraz, Peru has some of the most stunning treks, glaciers, and alpine lakes in the world. In this video, I take you on my first two hikes in Huaraz - one of which dumped me at the most beautiful blue lake I've ever seen!

    Literally here right now, very helpful, thanks! These hikes are absolutely serious. Not easy, these are real mountains not simple trails. Acclimating is so important! Thanks for the good video

    Memorable hike. Crosby, when you get to be 85 years old you will probably not be able to do such hikes.

    Recommend three days to acclimate, two to three Ibuprofen each morning and maybe 1 or two before bedtime. Light exercise helps. Huaraz is the best in the world for hiking, climbing, and for sure, mountain biking. Retirement here is the best for healthy and cheap living.

    Just got back fom cusco a month ago. The altitude sickness is no joke, luckly got acclimated in a couple days, but had to drink a ton of coca tea and kept nibbling on coca candy. Never been out of breath just going up a flight of stairs before, but the first night was rough.

    Thanks for your video, just about the bus to Huaraz from Lima, did you manage to book it in advance ?

  • @Off_the_beaten_path
    @Off_the_beaten_path Рік тому

    Awesome video!! So did you hire a taxi directly to and from the trailhead from Huaraz? And was the driver waiting for you at the trailhead once you finished the hike? I'm looking at doing this solo and am trying to figure out the transportation, this hike looks amazing and I don't want to miss it.

  • @dollyllamaranch
    @dollyllamaranch 3 роки тому

    Pack long sleeves, a hat, and sunscreen please to go to Huaraz! If it's warm, wear a lightweight shirt with long sleeves. You don't want to have a sunburn compounding the affects of the altitude.
