INSURANCE

WE STRONGLY SUGGEST TO GET AN ALL-RISK TRAVEL INSURANCE

MEDICAL HEALTH

There is little impact of high altitude in visitors to the Cordillera Blanca and the Cordillera Huayhuash. This is due to the tropical microclimates and ecosystems characteristic of this region, as well as its lower elevation compared to other Andean regions. Huaraz is 400 meters lower than Cusco, and 1,000 meters lower than Puno. However, the trekking and climbing programs are true expeditions and require good physical conditions, and technical expertise for some of the climbing itineraries. We recommend a complete medical check-up and a consistent physical activity/fitness (hiking, jogging, bicycling, swimming, dancing, aerobics, mountaineering) or other fitness program, well in advance of the Andes trip.
