Huaraz Tour ( 4 days and 3 nights )
Price per person US$592 based on double occupancy at tourist class hotels

The small city of Huaraz is the hub for all hiking activity, and frequent rural buses transport enthusiasts to a variety of trailheads. A Casa de Guias, located just off the main street, will provide the latest information about routes and mountain conditions, and can provide trekkers with a list of porters and burro drivers, who can help carry gear on the long trek ahead. Along the main street of Luzuriaga, colorful billboard signs lend distinction to an otherwise dull facade of street-front shops. Most of these promote tourism in some form, so finding a comfortable day tour, renting hiking gear, or buying souvenirs is as easy as locating the proper agency by identifying its sign out front. A number of good restaurants (whose status is often elevated to excellent after a long hike) serve up a variety of food and a couple of lively peñas, featuring groups playing the traditional music of the Andes, provide a place to loosen up before or after a strenuous four days' trekking.
