Alpamayo "The World's Most Beautiful Mountain

The park is located in the Cordillera Blanca in the central highlands of Peru in the department of Ancash.

It was created in 1975 in the Callejon de Huaylas, between the Cordillera Blanca and the Cordillera Negra, which has peaks between 2000 and 6000 meters high, which makes it the highest tropical mountain chain in the world. It was created with the aim of preserving the rich animal and plant here. In 1985, he was declared a World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. 

The Huascaran of 6768 meters is the highest peak of Peru, and gives this park where glaciers tower over many other summits, among which stand the peaks of Alpamayo and the Pyramid. 

Cut by deep canyons (streets), the park is a paradise of flora and fauna as well as the many pre-Columbian ruins of Chavin culture. The 340,000 hectares of this park also contains 663 glaciers, 296 lakes and 41 tributaries of the Santa Pativilca and Marañón. Llanganuco Parón gaps are also interesting places to visit. http://www.enriqueexpeditiontours.com/alpamayo_es.htm.

Alpamayo: the world's most perfect mountain

  An expedition of nine days to observe the mythical summit and feel your strength 

The people of the Andes mountains are thought to be protective gods, called "Apus". These gods control the fate and all kinds of gifts are needed to gain his benevolence. In the Andes, people bury beans, coca leaves and religious symbols to please the Apus when planning a trip, build a house or plow a field. These rites are reminiscent of the cults that preceded the imposition of Catholicism with the arrival of Spanish colonizers. 

The Alpamayo is a myth. The traveler must walk long hours just to glimpse in the distance the snow-capped pyramid shaped, invisible from the valley. Hikers and climbers come from afar to see it. The inhabitants of the Callejon de Huaylas have a particular pride in asserting that the Alpamayo, has been named the world's most beautiful mountain in 1966 - although, in reality, very few are those who have seen it. The Apu Alpamayo is stronger and more demanding than any other hill. 

"I always ask permission to Apu, I ask as a favor to preserve the group," said David Gonzales, a mountain guide and photographer from Huaraz. The expedition to see the  takes several days and is a mystical experience. A small offering and a general attitude of respect toward the mountains always help the success of the expedition. 

"The Apus protect walkers and the climate is benevolent with them, provided they have faith," says Gonzales. With its four-sided pyramid, the Alpamayo is a difficult mountain to climb. From Jancarurish camp, you can walk up to the first snow and feel the force of Apu. 

I can only express: "Thank God for such beauty, you really are wonderful, through your works we can see and feel your love".
