Minh Anh

Huantsan, at 20,981 feet (6,395 meters), is tied with Huandoy. The top resembles an arrowhead and is a formidable challenge to those brave enough to attempt it. The journey from Huaraz to Huantsan is simple, but the ascent is risky and strenuous. Huantsan is known for being a dangerous and difficult peak to climb. As a result, Huantsan receives fewer ascent attempts than practically any other 6,000-meter summit in the Cordillera Blanca. Huantsan and Santa Cruz are the most technically difficult of the 12 mountains included in this article. As a result, Huantsan is reserved for experienced climbers.


Huantsan is located about 25 kilometers east of Huaraz, the seat of the Ancash Region and the entrance to the Cordillera Blanca and Huascarán National Park for climbers and hikers.
