It had the misfortune of suffering a disastrous earthquake in 1970 razing all but one of its colonial streets, but the town is in such a stunning location that you barely register the buildings around you, instead looking to the mountains for inspiration.

Also I think that having to start from scratch, along with its strong international community, gives Huaraz a modern and open-minded feel you don’t find in other Peruvian cities. Also it has amazing food, cafes (especially Cafe Andino and California Cafe) and fun bars. I’m British and have no particular ties to Peru (other than the fact I love it), but I’ve been to Huaraz three times now – it keeps calling me back.
