StatisticsPeru has 70% of the tropical glaciers in the world
The Huascarán National Park is home to most of Peru´s glaciers
Since the 1970s, about 30% of the glacier coverage in
the Huascarán National Park has melted
By 2030, it is expected that all glaciers in this region, below
5,000 metres (15,000 feet), will have melted
completely.
Nearby, the Pastoruri ski resort has lost most of its snow.
Statistics from UN and Peruvian government
