Description

Come with me on this ascent and discover the Chopicalqui, one of the most beautiful peaks in the Cordillera Blanca.

The Chopicalqui Mountain is a 6,345 meters peak located inside the Llanganuco Valley in the Yungay Province of Peru. It is the third highest peak from the Huascaran snow-covered massif. From its summit, we can enjoy the view of the most astonishing panorama of the Cordillera Blanca.

First, we’ll meet in Huaraz and drive through Yungay and the Llanganuco Valley to the Ancosh Valley during around 3 hours. From this point, it will take us from 4 to 5 hours to get to the Moraine Camp (4,900 meters). On day 2, we’ll hike up during 4 or 5 hours to the High Camp (5,300 meters), our last stop before the summit. The following day, we’ll reach the highest point of the Chopicalqui and return to the Moraine Camp after a 14 to 15 hour hike. Finally, on day 4 we’ll go back to the Ancash Valley and drive to Huaraz.

If you want to take this ascent, consider that you should have a very good level of fitness and some previous mountaineering experience.

Percy is one of the most experienced guide in the area and he planned the trip very well, so I got my acclimatization well and mentally and physically prepared for the climb, and eventually achieved all my climbing goals and summited all peaks. Will recommend Percy to everyone.

Dionne

We had an amazing time with Percy during our trip to Vallunaraju! The hike itself was really beautiful and Percy was a very kind and helpful guide.

Percy is a great guide, climbing with him you fill very secure. Trip itself was organized perfectly, each day you can count on a lot of support and smile.

Josh

Percy executed our plan well. He came up with several options after Huascaran was deemed unclimbable. I will be back to climb with Percy again. He runs a great trip.
