The trip is the Cordillera Huayhuash, in Peru. Almost the entire trek above 10,000', with half a dozen passes over 15,000' to cross. The route is remote, takes roughly 2 weeks to complete (100-130 miles depending on exact details), acclimitization requiring additional time. I am aware that this has trouble written all over it and have already told her that I have final "no-go" say, if I feel she isn't ready.

I backpacked the Cordillera Blanca with a buddy a few years ago. We humped our own packs while anyone else we saw had a guide and burros. By all accounts, this would be a wise, almost mandatory choice for the C.H., and I am planning on it. This hike is no walk through the park, but it is the one I have dreamed of doing ever since I heard of it.
