From the top, we enjoyed a spectacular view encompassing the mountains of four different ranges: Blanca, Huayhuash, Hualcán, and Negra. This unique panorama is, without a doubt, one of the most outstanding privileges this snow-capped mountain offers. At the summit, we took the opportunity to rest, hydrate, and capture unforgettable photographs.
Afterwards, we begin the descent following the same route as the ascent. Upon returning to our vehicle, we begin the return journey to the city of Huaraz, arriving around 3:00 p.m.
