There are spectacular views from the Caracara Pass of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range, particularly of Pukarahu (Nevado Santa Cruz - 6,259 m) to the west and the Valley of Huilca to the east.

The Caracara (or Gara Gara) pass is a serious lung-buster of a climb. It's high altitude and also steep in several places. Bring your coca leaves and marvel at the incredible views.
