5 Days

Jun - Aug

Description

One of the many great 6000 metres plus peaks in the Cordillera Blanca, Chopicalqui (6,354m) is an amazing climb.

And for 5 spectacular days, I would like to guide you to the summit of this great mountain. The views you will get not just from the summit but during the entire climb are absolutely unforgettable. Also, when compared to other peaks in the Cordillera Blanca, Chopicalqui is actually considered one of, if not the easiest to scale.

We will be camping at various spots throughout the ascent. And each one, from the mountain’s base camp to the Moraine camp (4,850m), offers a great opportunity to admire the amazing scenery.

Once you reach the summit of the peak, if the day is clear, you will have the opportunity to see the entire Cordillera Blanca. And you will get to see a number of the majestic peaks that call the range home. A few examples include Pisco (5,752m), Huascaran (6,768M), Chacraraju (6,108m), Huandoy (6,360m) and so many more.

While Chopicalqui is considered the easiest mountain to climb in the range, it is still a 6000 plus meter peak. As a result, there will be some challenges. However, I will see to it that you are properly and safely guided every step of the way. This trip will also be carefully planned, as weather and snow conditions, as well as your skill level and ambitions will be considered.

So send us a request, and join us on this amazing 5 day adventure to the top of one of Peru’s most beautiful peaks. We know you’ll have a great and memorable experience.

I can also lead you to the summit of Alpamayo on this 8 day adventure.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
