Versió catalana "Huaraz i la Cordillera Blanca"
La fem de Vaqueria fins a Cashapampa amb tres mules que ens transporten l’equipatge i fent acampada. Muntanyes espectaculars y vistes sorprenents de la Cordillera.
El segon dia passem per Punta Union 4750m. L’altura es nota, ens falta aire... sort que no carregem les motxilles! Les nits són fredes i durant el dia si fa sol calor.
El tercer dia, pugem a veure un llac amb un glaciar de fons per després anar descendint fins l’últim campament abans de sortir de la vall l’endemà.

English version "Huaraz and the Cordillera Blanca"
The trek goes from Baqueria to Cashapampa with three mules that transported our luggage and the camp stuff.
Spectacular mountains and stunning views of the Cordillera Blanca.
The second day we cross Punta Union (4750m.) The height is noticeable, we lack air ... Luckly we do not have to carry the backpacks! The nights are cold, and during the day the heat is very hot.
The third day we go up to see a glacier lake and then go down to the last camp before leaving the valley the next day.

Hello
If you plan to go to the Cordillera Blanca, Parque Nacional Huascarán, I am please to announce that at the entry of Vaqueria you will now find Illariy, a nice and warm Lodge where you can have shelter, food, souvenirs and open doors activities. It is a beautiful place surrounded by mountains like Chopicalqui, cristal waterfalls and rivers. More Info at: http://centroturisticoillariyenvaqueria.blogspot.com/ Have a Good Trip Magaly

Gorka Eh
Cuando dices "haciendo 3 noches en campamentos base" ¿a que te refieres?.¿Llevabais vosotros el equipo para acampar? ¿Ibais por vuestra cuenta o a través de agencia? Gracias!!
Hola @dolo68,
Yo lo hice con una agencia que proporcionaba transsporte hasta el punto de inicio y la vuelta, te dejaban tiendas y el material que necesitaras, y te llebaban las mochilas unas mulas.
Fueron 2 noches de tienda 3 dias caminando.
El paisaje y la experiencia, muy buena.
Saludos,
Sergi
