Description

Ascend the incredible Mount Pisco in the Cordillera Blanca on this unique mountaineering trip. Located in the Llanganuco Valley, Peru, this fantastic 5,460-meter peak is both challenging and stunning. Join me for 4 incredible days in the heights of Peru.

During this tour, we’ll tackle mountains and glaciers to reach Mount Pisco’s impressive summit. We’ll be rewarded with 360-degree stunning views of the nearby Mt. Huascarán, Chopicalqui, Huandoy, Chacraraju, Artesonraju, and others. You can read the itinerary below for a more detailed description of what will be doing each day.

All mountaineers are welcome on this trip. Experienced and non-experienced climbers will both love this adventure. However, I do suggest you arrive to Huaraz a couple of days earlier to get used to the height, no matter how experienced you are. That will also give us the opportunity to meet and review the itinerary and your equipment. Furthermore, if you need anything, I can help you rent it.

So, are you ready for a thrilling mountaineering experience in South America? Then send your request and explore the beautiful Peruvian Andes on this unique adventure. You’ll love every minute of it!
