Got ticket at better price from Pelago. I would recommend to buy tkt till summit as the final climb thru stairs is steep. Better to buy full package, mono rail from Sun plaza, then Cable car to Fansipan and finally funnicular to the summit. I think it's a must visit when in Sapa.
Very easy to use and fuss free. I would suggest those who purchase to keep a soft copy/screenshot of the QR code because if there's no internet, cannot open Pelago app. Pelago will also send the softcopy via WhatsApp so just save it from there to your gallery or phone for easy reference. Other than that, no issues with the QR.
Seamless & convenient as only the QR code (on Pelago issued voucher) needs to be scanned in at point of entry at building - which is way better than having to quene for the tickets separately. Noted also it was cheaper as compared to buying the tickets at retail price (1200 BHT) at the building itself, great promo with drink packaged in, which came handy as bags more than 25 cm had to be stored in lockers at entrance due to observatory restrictions.

Huaraz is a city located in the Andes Mountains of Peru, known for its stunning mountain landscapes and outdoor adventure opportunities. The currency used in Huaraz is the Peruvian Sol. The city is a popular destination for hikers and trekkers looking to explore the nearby Huascarán National Park, home to the highest peak in Peru. Visitors can also experience the rich indigenous culture of the region through traditional festivals and markets.
The best time to visit Huaraz is during the dry season, which runs from May to September. During this time, the weather is mild and perfect for outdoor activities like hiking and trekking. The rainy season, from October to April, can bring heavy rainfall and make some trails impassable. However, this time of year also brings lush green landscapes and fewer crowds.
Getting around Huaraz is relatively easy, with taxis and colectivos (shared vans) being the most common modes of transportation. Many of the main attractions in the city are within walking distance of the central plaza. For longer journeys to nearby towns or hiking trails, buses and tour companies offer transportation services. It's also possible to rent a car for more flexibility in exploring the surrounding area.
Be prepared for high altitudes in Huaraz and take time to acclimatize before engaging in strenuous activities. Pack layers of clothing, as the weather in the mountains can change quickly. Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water to prevent altitude sickness. Try the local cuisine, such as ceviche and pachamanca, for a taste of traditional Peruvian flavors. Respect the environment and follow Leave No Trace principles when exploring the natural beauty of Huaraz.
