Rataquenua




The city of Huaraz is the department of Ancash and is the principal city of the Callejón de Huaylas, is known as "the very noble and generous city of Huaraz" and is located 400 km from the city of Lima. A Huaraz can be seen in all its magnitude from the lookout, located next to the Cruz de Rataquenua.

It is the most important center of economy, finance, agricultural sales, and tourism in the Callejon de Huaylas. The central market is the largest in the Alley. Huaraz is a place of arrival of practitioners of extreme sports and high in the snowy mountains of the Cordillera Blanca, as well as tours to the archaeological site of Chavin de Huantar.



El Mirador de Rataquenua is located 7 km southeast of the city of Huaraz on the east side of the hill. Natural Mirador which is a strategic point overlooking the city. It is recommended to go to the lookout during the hours of day and in groups.

The ascent to the cross of "El Mirador" in Rataquenua in the taxi takes about 15 minutes while the track is uncovered at a cost ranging from 5-10 soles not recommended walking up to the viewpoint, since no much to see up-and the road is dusty descarpado.



In Rataquenua, there is a large cross and a building full of graffiti, and of course a magnificent view of Huaraz. But do not just sit there watching the scenery, because here is where the hiking and adventure.

Keep up the road or fix the cab to turn up for two extra soles to a point where there is a eucalyptus forest, which is roughly where they began Rataquenua cliffs. From there, continue walking for about an hour, until the rock wall on your right ends.


From there just go down the roads that look like large fingers to Huaraz. Recommend taking a taxi to the lookout around 3pm, to allow time to walk the walk in stride, just as the sun is not as strong, and be in time to see the beautiful sunset just before the fall, around 6pm. Recommend No download later, because the road becomes dangerous unlit.
