You can get a collectivo (mini bus) from Av. Centario in Huaraz, just by the bridge. They leave every day between 7:00 and 10:00 as they fill up, about every 15 minutes. It takes about two hours to reach Caraz from Huaraz. The rates vary according to the vehicle, faster ones seeming to charge a bit more. It was around two dollars but watch what locals pay, and just pay the same.
