    Asked on October 4th, 2023

    I was wondering if you had any group trips for the Huayhuash circuit around December 22nd that I could join?

    Travel Support
    • ExplorandesOperator•Written October 2023

      We do not operate during December because it is the rainy season, and it can get hazardous. I wouldn't advise you to go trekking around that time of the year in the Huayhuash Circuit.
