Pastoruri Glacier

Perched at over 15,000 feet (4,572 meters) in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range of northern Peru, Pastoruri Glacier stands as a vast ice wall against a backdrop of towering peaks. This rare tropical glacier, though rapidly melting due to climate change, remains a significant draw for visitors to Huaraz. As you explore, you can witness the ongoing transformation of the ice, offering a tangible and sobering experience of the impacts of global warming.
