Huaraz | City centre with Cordillera Blanca

WI_pe039.jpg

View from the roof terrace of the Hotel La Aurora in N direction. As Huaraz - capital city of the Ancash region - was badly affected by an earthquake on 31 May 1970 and had to be rebuilt afterwards, it is characterized by modern architecture. The Cordillera Blanca with Nevado Huascarán (6768 m, left centre) and Nevado Hualcán (6165 m, right side) appears in the background of the scene.
