Helpfulness
The local street market in Huaraz provides most anything you will need on the trek and is a colorful place to observe locals too.
What to buy: I got some good soft asian noodles which cooked quickly though were a bit heavy. I got five kilo packs, which was far too much! lol Good to buy some powdered drink mix to made the iodized water taste better. Instant noodle soups are a great way to start a meal off as they are quick for when you are hungy. Mate de cocoa tea is reportedly good for acclimatization and tasted pretty good as well.
What to pay: The noodles are cheap as are most things at the market.
