  • Life in Huaráz, below the distant Huandoy summits and the west face of Huascarán Norte (North) 6,664m.  Huaráz lies at an altitude of 3,052 m, approx. 420 km north of Lima.  It sits in the agriculturally important Callejón de Huaylas valley, at the foot of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, which includes Huascarán, the highest mountain in Peru at 6,768 m.  On May 31, 1970 the Ancash earthquake destroyed much of Huaraz, killing 10,000 people.  Almost nothing was left of the old city with its narrow streets and big adobe casonas roofed with tiles.  The old narrow streets were widened as they had proved to be deathtraps during the earthquake.  Reconstruction of the city is a work in progress.
