A Leading Adventure Destination
Cordillera Blanca, in the Ancash region, has been recognized as one of the world’s must-visit adventure tourism destinations for 2026, reaffirming Peru’s position as a global benchmark for outdoor experiences.
While the sacred Inca site of Machu Picchu is often the main draw for travelers from around the globe, those in search of true adventure, breathtaking landscapes and less crowded routes will find a northern destination that exceeds all expectations: Huaraz, the undisputed capital of trekking and mountaineering in Peru.
Set in the heart of the Cordillera Blanca, this city is surrounded by snowcapped peaks rising over 19,600 feet (6,000 meters), vividly colored lakes and valleys that are straight out of a postcard. Here, outdoor enthusiasts can take on multi-day treks that rival the very best in the Americas, both for their stunning beauty and their level of challenge.
One of the most renowned routes is the Huayhuash Circuit, an approximately 12-day journey considered one of the most spectacular hikes in the world today. The trail loops around a dramatic mountain range, weaving past glaciers, turquoise lakes and remote campsites where the silence is broken only by the wind. It is a powerful, immersive experience—perfect for travelers with a true sense of adventure who want to fully unplug and connect with nature in its purest form.
