Description

One of the beautiful peaks in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru, Vallunaraju (5,686m) is a fantastic mountain to climb. Moreover, it’s actually not a very difficult mountain to climb either. That is why I am happy to offer the chance to reach this mammoth peak’s summit in just 2 days.

Our journey to the summit of Vallunaraju will begin in the beautiful northern city of Huaraz. From there, we will drive for approximately 1.5 hours to the Llaca Valley (4,350m). At the valley you can enjoy some breathtaking views of the Cordillera Blanca. After our arrival, we will climb for approximately 2 to 3 hours up to the Morena Camp (5,130m), where we will spend the night.

On the second day of the trip, we will make our way up Vallunaraju. The path we will be taking is steady, but not overtly steep or technically difficult. However, the climb is physically taxing. As a result, you should be in good physical condition. Finally, you will really get to push yourself on the final 60 meters of the climb, which is quite steep and exposed. After you’ve soaked up the glory of the great ascent, as well as the amazing views, we will make our way back down to the Llaca Valley, and then Huaraz. The total time of the climb and subsequent descent is approximately 10 hours.

Climbing to the summit of the Vallunaraju peak is an experience you will never forget. To enjoy it for yourself over 2 adventurous days, just send a request.

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!

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.
