The Cordillera Huayhuash is one of the most beautiful mountain chains in the world. Located in the Peruvian Andes in South America, few people trek the region due to its harsh environment and remote location. One of the best alpine treks in the entire world, it is renowned for its sheer mountain peaks, pristine glacial lakes, and encounters with traditional Andean culture. The weather can often be extreme, and trekking is difficult and sometimes dangerous. This helps create an utterly sublime setting. Over the course of 12 days, I hiked the entire circuit with the aid of two mules and a local guide. The resulting panorama is a series of eleven photos which capture the sheer beauty and remoteness of the mountains during sunrise.
