Description

For 20 days, I want you to experience an unforgettable adventure exploring and scaling 4 the most famed peaks in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range of Peru: Ishinca, Urus, Tocllaraju, and Alpamayo.

Starting in the Peruvian capital city of Lima, the adventure will begin with an 8 hour bus ride to Huaraz (3,100m). In Huaraz, which is the capital of the Ancash region, you will get to spend a day acclimatizing at the beautiful Laguna 69.

After leaving Huaraz, we will then proceed to the first peak of the trip, Ishinca (5,530m). Filled with amazing views, we will spend a few days ascending and descending this peak. Afterwards, we will move on to the next peak on this adventure, Urus (5,490m). This enormous mountain is actually one of the easiest to climb, and presents some fantastic glacier views as well.

The next peak we will venture to on this trip is the highest of the 4: Tocllaraju (6,034m). The views from this mountains’ summit are definitely some of the most spectacular you will ever see.

Following the ascent of those 3 beautiful peaks, we will then return to Huaraz, where you will get a day to rest, relax and explore. Afterwards, we will take a bus Cashapampa (2,900m) and start trekking to Llamacoral (3,760m), where we will spend the night. The next 4 days will be dedicated to the majestic Alpamayo mountain (5,947m). The ascent to the summit will take place early in the morning, and the views from the peak’s apex, with the sun rising, will create a memory that will last a lifetime.

Following the descent of Alpamayo, we will then proceed back to Huaraz, and then on to Lima, where you will catch your flight home.

With 4 fantastic peaks to climb, this trip is a true adventure. And over the course of 20 days you will get to see so much that you will be recalling what will seem like new memories long after you’ve returned home. 

So send me a request, and let me guide you on this amazing expedition.

Mountain Guide

IFMGA/UIAGM Mountain Guide from Perú, based in Huaraz, Cordillera Blanca.

I like mountaineering and skiing. I recently completed the ski certification in Argentina, so I'm one of the few fully IFMGA certified guides in Peru. I've also guided in Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina and the Alps.

Some of my favourite trips are climbing in the Dolomites, Fitz Roy in El Chalten, and mountain biking across Peru, Bolivia and Chile.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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.
