Asked by: Luiza
I'll be in the Huaraz region but looking for a trek similar to the Salkantay Trek - what do you recommend?
Answered by: Edita
For something similar to Salkantay in Huaraz I'd recommend the Santa Cruz Trek (4 days). It is the best option of the Cordillera Blanca for a first trekking experience: high mountain landscapes, glaciers and lagoons, without technical difficulty.
