TREKKING
The majestic peaks of the Cordillera Blanca, Cordillera Negra and Cordillera Huayhuash
peer down on some of the most iconic trails in South America, offering a near endless ar-
ray of treks over a plethora of varied terrains and postcard-perfect scenery.
OUTDOORS
Opportunities in the Cordilleras aren't limited to trekking - these stately mountains afford
a bounty of open-air adventures, from casual mountain biking, horseback riding and rock-
climbing day trips to more serious ice climbing and mountaineering endeavors.
RUINS
Highlighted by the don't-miss Unesco ruins at Chavín de Huántar, one of Peru's most im-
portant and fascinating primordial sites, there are wonderful opportunities in the Cordiller-
as to break up the outdoor lovefest with a little ancient culture.
