Project Description
ERising majestically above Huaraz, Nevado Vallunaraju is visible from almost any street in the city, standing as a protective guardian of the region. Known for its distinctive twin peaks, with the northern summit being the highest, Vallunaraju is located in the Llaca Valley. Its accessibility and proximity to Huaraz make it one of the most sought-after climbs in the Cordillera Blanca, offering a perfect blend of adventure and convenience.
