When the
sun dies, the sky turns orange and the peaks of
the snow covered mountains appear to burn, highlighting
the beauty of the nearby nestling towns. Night
falls without hurry in the Callejón de Huaylas;
then the soft twinkling of the stars and the narrow
trails, robust mountains and restless flow of
the river fall into shadow and calm the lakes.
The Callejon de Huaylas is located in Huaráz,
department of Ancash, at more than 400 kms. north
of Lima. A striking scenery of wild country, a
colorful valley formed by the Cordillera Blanca
and the Cordillera Negra between which runs the
powerful river, the río Santa, watering the fields
of a string of picturesque villages dotted along
its banks. |
