4-day Tocllaraju (6,035m) summit in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru

Join me on this 4-day ascent to the summit of Tocllaraju (6035m) and experience a unique mountaineering challenge. This spectacular snow-capped mountain is situated in the Cordillera Blanca, in the Andes mountain range of Peru.

Tocllaraju is a great acclimatization peak for those looking to climb higher peaks later, and of all the 6000-meter peaks in the Cordillera Blanca, it offers one of the least difficult normal routes to the summit. But make no mistake, it is still not an easy climb at all. It is an ascent full of emotions in the last metres of the exposed crest which leads to the summit.

Bear in mind you need an excellent fitness level in order to join this ascent, although we will spend some days to get a good acclimatization to high altitude.

The city of Huaraz (3100m) will be the starting point of our trip. From there, we’ll head to Pashpa (3600m) and start trekking towards the Ishinca Valley, through a panoramic and progressive path. We will spend the first night at the Ishinca Base Camp (4350m). On the following day, we’ll go to theMoraine Camp (5100m).

On our way, you will be enjoying amazing views over the Andes and Tocllaraju glaciers and snow-covered summits. On the third day, we will ascend to the Tocllaraju summit (6035m), descending back to Base Camp (4350m). Finally, during the last day of the trip, we’ll return to Huaraz.

I will organize private transportation to the trailhead from Huaraz and back and mules and donkey drivers to carry our equipment and camping gear to the mountain. A cook will prepare our meals and a porter will accompany us along the trip.

So send me a request if you want to join me on this great ascent in the Andes of Peru.  Book your trip and get ready for an unforgettable Tocllaraju ascent.
