What to Know About Huaraz

Key Facts

Huaraz is a city that serves as the capital of the Ancash Region in Peru, located approximately 400 kilometers north of Lima in the Callejón de Huaylas valley at an elevation of 3,052 meters above sea level. This high-altitude urban center is positioned between the Cordillera Negra to the west and the snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Blanca to the east, making it a strategic gateway to Huascarán National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. With an estimated population of around 120,000 people, Huaraz covers an area of approximately 12 square kilometers and functions as the commercial, administrative, and tourism hub for the surrounding mountainous territory. The city is divided into several districts including Huaraz, Independencia, and Cochabamba, each with distinct urban characteristics. Originally founded in 1574 as San Sebastián de Huaraz, the city has rebuilt itself multiple times following devastating earthquakes, most notably in 1970 when much of the city was destroyed. Today, Huaraz serves as the primary base for mountaineering expeditions, trekking adventures, and archaeological tours to nearby pre-Inca sites like Chavín de Huántar.
