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) |
