Huaraz - Peru
 Huaraz is a city in central Peru. It has
a population of approximately 100,000 and is the capital of the Ancash
region. Huaraz is situated at an altitude of 3100 m in the Andes
mountains, some 450 km north of Lima.
Huaraz sits in the agriculturally important Callejon de Huaylas valley,
at the foot of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, which includes
Huascaran, the highest mountain in Peru at 6768 m. Huascaran National
Park is a popular destination for tourism and trekking, and Huaraz is a
frequent base for expeditions to the Cordilleras Blanca and Huayhuash.
Tourists often come from Argentina, Italy, Switzerland, Israel, Germany,
the UK and the United States.
On 31 May 1970 the Ancash earthquake destroyed much of Huaraz, killing
10,000 people. Nearby Yungay was completely buried by material from
Huascaran, with the loss of 30,000 lives.
