Pastoruri Ski Field in Peru
The view towards the glacier and the ski fields in Pastoruri
Pastoruri is the only 'ski resort' in Peru. But it's not much of a resort. There is from time to time one rope-tow on a small glacier at over 4500m that is rapidly shrinking and these days is often icy.... Access is via the town of Huaraz about 8 hours north of Lima.
Practical stuff
