What do you need to bring? Is a sleeping bag included? Are hiking poles included? How difficult is the track? Do you need hiking booths or can you do it on running shoes? Can I have a tent for myself, without sharing with other guests? Can I have a free cancelation option in case I cannot make it on time to Huaraz, or in case I am injured and cannot hike in the mountains? Where is the meeting/end point in Huaraz?

October through to February we won't be operating the Huayhuash trek route due to the rainy season. We can operate a trek for you at slightly lower altitude in the Cusco region, let me know if this is something that would suit your trip plans.

I want to know how much equipment I will have to bring, what is provided? and what is the best way yo get to Huaraz.

We can operate the trek and climb in the Huayhuash between April - September, this is the best season for the Huayhuash. If you prefer to come earlier we can operate a trek and climb in the Cusco Region (Ausangate)

Do you allow small dogs?

Yes we can organise the route for you with your dog also :) Will be great!

wondering if this trip was running under the dates selected / around this time?

We have a departure mid May that is confirmed for this route. We would require a minimum of 2+ to open up another departure date. If the departure in mid-May works I'll be happy to send more details.
