Description

Stand at the top of Nevado Pisco, a majestic and iconic peak in Peru.

Due to the easy nature of this ascent, it is one of the most popular ones in the country. And from the summit we’ll get a mesmerizing 360º view of the Cordillera Blanca, including Chacraraju, Piramide de Garcilaso, Artesonraju, Alpamayo, Santa Cruz, Huascaran and Huandoy.

On our first day we’ll meet in Huaraz. Then, we’ll ride a private vehicle heading north and driving by Carhuaz, Mancos and Yungay. After about 2 hours we’ll get to the Huascaran National Park entrance. We will keep ascending through Llanganuco, from where we’ll get incomparable views of the Chunacocha and Oroncocha lagoons. And once we reach Cebollapampa our climbing adventure begins, trekking towards the base camp (4,655 m).

After a nutritious breakfast, we’ll get ready for a day full of adventures. And at 11:00 am we’ll begin hiking across a steep road and through a mountain pass, until we reach the Morrena Camp.

Next day, we’ll begin with another energetic breakfast so we can get ready to reach the summit. Our ascent will begin at about 2:00 a.m. via the normal route. Then, after 4 or 5 hours we’ll finally stand at the top. Upon completion, we’ll begin our descent back to the Morrena camp and head to base camp.

On our last day we will leave base camp at 8:00 a.m. trekking towards Cebollapampa or Quebrada Llanganuco. There our private vehicle will take us back to Huaraz.

Nevado Pisco is located in the Quebrada Llanganuco. So we could also do the Santa Cruz Trek, 8 days to Vaquiera in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru.

About the guide

Mountain Guide

I’m based in Huaraz, but I have been all over Peru, guiding clients, exploring for myself and getting to know every corner of my beautiful country. I’ve hiked the mighty Cordillera Blanca and the famous Inka Trail. But I’ve also explored the wonderful Peruvian Amazon and climbed to the highest Nevados in the country.

I started working as a mountain assistant a long time ago, and since then I’ve been gaining experience and knowledge to become a UIAGM-IFMGA certified Mountain Guide. I like to work in a team and I'm very efficient in solving unexpected problems so my clients can enjoy their experience as much as possible.

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.
