How challenging is this tour? How many people will be on it? Why are there start dates every single day?

This is a very challenging trek, recommended for intermediate to advanced trekkers. However, if you have good fitness and stamina, it's possible. If you're just starting out, our advice would be to start with a shorter trek, possibly the 4-day Mini Huayhuash trek or the Santa Cruz 5-day trek. There are start dates every single day because we're available to operate on a daily basis, for minimum group sizes of 2+

I'm interested in your high altitude mountainous treks. I like the 12-day Cordillera Huayhuash trek, but I was wondering if you offered similar treks that were shorter than 12 days. I'm interested in September, but my departure date is flexible.

We can offer treks from 3 days to 18 days. We don't have any confirmed departures just yet for September but if you advise which route you'd like to do and for how many days we'll set up the departure for you.
