Huaraz

Huaraz, capital of Áncash, is at about 3,050 metres in the Callejón de Huaylas, with the Cordillera Blanca visible from its streets. It is the base for Parque Nacional Huascarán, the Lagunas de Llanganuco, Laguna 69, Laguna Churup and the Pastoruri glacier, and for the temple of Chavín de Huántar on the other side of the range. In the centre, the Museo Arqueológico de Áncash displays stone sculptures of the Recuay culture.
