Information
To get the lowdown on trekking and the latest conditions, your first port of call should be
Casa de Guías (

)
, which has information on weather, trail conditions, guides
and mule hire. Some IGN and Alpenvereinskarte topographic maps are sold here.
Trekking and equipment-rental agencies are also good sources of local knowledge and can
advise on day hikes. For more impartial advice, be sure to visit popular Huaraz haunts
such as Café Andino (

and California Café (

)
, whose foreign own-
ers keep abreast of local developments and sell hiking maps.
