Cordillera Blanca

4 Days

May - Sep

Description

I am happy to organize this 4-day ascent up to the summit of the Nevado Pisco, at 5972 meters of altitude.

The Nevado Pisco or the Mataraju mountain is a peak of the Cordillera Blanca. It lies in the Yungay province and is part of the Peruvian Andes.

The first climbers to reach that peak were George Kogan and Nicole Leininger. When they summited it they celebrated with Pisco, the national drink of Perú. That is why the Mataraju mountain is known today as the Nevado Pisco.

The Pisco mountain is an ideal summit for beginners as well as for experts. Anyway, I always recommend a prior acclimatization through the Santa Cruz and Llanganuco trek. The Ausangate trail is another good option.

Once you are at the top of the mountain you'll enjoy an unforgettable 360º panoramic view of the famous group of summits. All of them are more of 6000 meters high!

If you want more details about this program, feel free to contact me and ask me all your doubts. It will be my pleasure to help you conquer the Nevado Pisco summit!

What people are saying about Quique

Marie-Laure

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!

We trekked / climbed the Alpine version around the Huayhuash and walked with the Condors! We camped at the touching the void expedition's base camp. Beautiful.
