Northern Peruvian Andes city at 3,050m elevation — basecamp for the Cordillera Blanca (Peru's most spectacular mountain range, with 23 peaks over 6,000m). Pace is genuinely outdoorsy: glacier hikes, multi-day treks (Santa Cruz, Huayhuash circuit), and climbing routes (Pisco, Tocllaraju, Alpamayo). Population around 130,000 — markedly less touristic than Cusco. Altitude adjustment is real (3,000m+); many nomads acclimatize in Lima or Trujillo first. Wi-Fi is reliable in town; coworking is thin. Peru's standard 90-day visa-free entry covers most stays, extendable in-country to 183 days.
