Landscape

Going up in the mountains with the winding roads give you many fine views of valleys and mountain tops.

In Departemento de Ancach there are two mountain chains: the Cordillera Blanca (with snow on top) and the Cordillera Negra.
The valley between is called Callejón de Huaylas, with the cities/villages of Recuay, Huaraz, Carhuas, Yungay and Caraz.
