    Location

    On-site

    Ahuac, Peru
    Directions

    Huancayo is located in the central part of the Peruvian Andes, in the central part of the Cordillera de los Andes.

    Ahuac (where we are) is about 37 minutes away from Huancayo by taxi in the western part, we are in a rural place away from the noise and not a tourist place. Huancayo is the capital city of the Junín region. It has an elevation of 3300 m.

    The elevation of most places here is between 3000 and 3600 m, that means that you will have to acclimatize when you get here.

    Generally speaking this takes a few days to a week and it is advisable to take it slow, chew coca leaves or take some altitude droplets which you can buy at any pharmacy in the world.

    Expect to experience some discomfort, but not too crazy either. ¡As long as you don’t go run a marathon and gradually get accustomed to the new fresh air, you will be all right!
