Cuartelhuain
Community campsite at the road end (about 4,170 m) where most groups spend the first night after the 5-hour drive from Huaraz. It is on Llámac community land: the Llámac fee (S/50 in 2026, also covers part of Jahuacocha) and the Pocpa road fee (S/20) are collected on the way in.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "not confirmed by the operator" are listed on OpenStreetMap or in guides but could not be checked on an official page. The campsites on the Huayhuash Circuit belong to the local communities: flat grass by a stream or lake, usually with a simple toilet, and a community member who collects the fee in the evening. Nights are below freezing above 4,000 m; treat all water, as cattle graze everywhere, and carry out your rubbish.
The Huayhuash Circuit route works offline in Outest, with these places on the map and a trail guide you can ask about water, weather and the next village.
