I'd like to know what else there is to do aside from just the hikes! Thanks.
If you have the flexibility to go there a few days early, this will be very helpful. Spend a day or two in Huaraz and walk around, take a day trip to places like Yungay. Being at 10,000 feet for a few days will help make the hiking to higher altitudes a little easier.
