9 to 10 day round trip arround the phantastic montains of the cordillera Huayhuash. If you go on your own, it is quite a hard tour: every day a high pass and food for 10 days to carry!
On the way, you can hire donkeys and guides in Chiquian or Llámac.
By public transport to Chiquian. For a couple of years there has been a new road form Chiquian to Huallanca, passing by Llámac, Pocpa and Cuartelwain. These means, you can also start in Cuartelwain, making the trip shorter.
From Cajatambo there is public transport to get back.
We used the guide 'Backpacking and Trekking in Peru und Bolivia' by Hillary Brandt. Good route description.
