Mount Pastoruri
70 km / 43 miles south of Huaraz (3 hours by car)
Along the route to the snowcapped peak, you can see PatocochaLake, some specimens of the Puyas Raimondi, and the Pumapashimi Spring. This snowy mountain reaches 5,240 m.a.s.l (17.187 f.a.s.l.), but its glacier base is easy to get to and the lower ice patch is found at 5,025 m.a.s.l (16,482 f.a.s.l). The peak is part of the main high mountain tourist circuits of the Callejon de Huaylas. You can practice snowboard, ski and ice climbing there.  (PromPeru)
