FAQs: Splitboarding in Peru
What should I know about Splitboarding Peru?
Stretching from the equator in the north all the way down to Lake Titicaca and Chile in the south, Peru is a symbol of the Andes Mountains. Home to Incan sites like Machu Picchu, it is held in high esteem as a go-to destination among splitboarders, skiers, and outdoor athletes.
The lack of ski resorts is beneficial for splitboarders as it combines action-packed ascents with pristine powder descents. The landscape is rugged from foothills to summit, and though about 60% of the land is Peruvian Amazonia, it is still a captivating snow sport location for snow- and splitboarders.
The Altiplano Plateau to the south and the Andes in the east are the primary locations for splitboarding and ski touring.

Jaw-Dropping Scenery!
High peaks means unencumbered panoramas, and Peru does not disappoint. Take in glaciers, alpine lakes, high-altitude brush endemic to the Andes, and so much more.
