Callejon de Huaylas, meaning the Alley of Huaylas, is the common name for the Santa Valley, an inter-Andean valley in the Ancash Region in the north-central highlands of Peru. It takes its name from its location between two mountain ranges, and Huaylas refers to the territorial division that governed the area during the Viceroyalty of Peru.
