These are dry and arid mountains and interesting in there own right. Providing the weather is fine you can get excellent views of the Cordillera Blanca and you will see rural villages that are not used to visitors.
You could use these mountains for day walks from Huraz. Getting a taxi to drop you in the mountains. You could trek for a few days at time (you need to be carefull with regard to carrying water - as it is so dry water is scarce) or you could hire a bike and tour the area.
