3-day Climb on Pisco in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru

The Cordillera Blanca is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful parts of Peru. And within this stunning mountain range, the Pisco (5,752 m) mountain stands out for its beauty and accessibility. So don’t miss out the chance to reach the summit of this colossal peak.

We’ll depart Huaraz towards the Callejon de Huaylas Valley. And, along the way we will pass different towns until we reach Yungay. Then, we will head to the Huascaran National Park through a narrow passage in the Llanganuco Valley. It is here where we’ll get to see the dazzling Chinancocha and Orconcocha lakes. Later we’ll keep driving until we reach the Llanganuco Valley, from where we’ll hike to Mount Pisco‘s base camp.

Then, we’ll begin early our second day, due to the exhaustive journey ahead of us. We will cross rocky paths and reach a glacier edge. Thereupon, we’ll rope up, and climb on the south glacier. After that, we’ll continue on the west ridge, where we’ll find some steep slopes. And when we finally reach the summit, we’ll get the most impressive views of the area!

Upon completion of our route, we’ll retrace our steps and head back to base camp. We’ll spend another night there, to recover our energies and reflect on the adventure we just embarked on.

Finally, to end our journey, we’ll pack up our equipment and head to Cebolla Pampa. There, a vehicle will wait for us to drive us back to Huaraz.
