The alpine huayhuash trek was an amazing experience. Intense and Out of the beaten path with incredible landscapes. Quique is a very knowledgeable guide who will take you to the most unique places. I felt very safe the whole time. The logistics was on point, the team (cook and mule guy) very friendly and the food very good. One of my best treks so far and I will highly recommend going with Quique however be sure to be physically fit !

I was with Quique and Blass on his initial climb of Sullcon and Paca. It was spectacular, we climbed a new route on a rarely climbed mountain.

Very fun trek with Quique. The food was great. The climb of Artesonraju was amazing and made safe with Quique's skill. Want to do it again!
