Nevado Mateo one-day guided ascent

Enjoy a 1-day ascent up to the summit of the Nevado Mateo in company with Fredy, a local UIMLA mountain guide. A perfect option for those with no previous experience as well as those in search of an acclimatization before a bigger goal in the Cordillera Blanca.

Cordillera Blanca

1 Day

Apr - Dec

Description

The Nevado Mateo, with 5,150 meters of altitude, is probably one of the easiest summits to climb in the Cordillera Blanca. Moreover, this ascent works perfectly as an acclimatization before a bigger goal.

The Nevado Mateo summit is a fairly straight forward climb, which invites beginners and non-technical climbers to have a great experience at high altitude.

Our mountaineering adventure starts in Huaraz around 3 AM, driving north along the Callejon de Huaylas until we are in Carhuaz. From there, we have to continue driving in east direction into the Ulta Valley. Our transfer will leave us in the parking lot at 4800 meters above sea level.

And here the adventure starts. We will walk on a rocky path until we reach the foot of the Nevado Mateo. Now it’s climbing time! We have to climb the north face of this spectacular iced slope up to the summit.

Once in there, we will have an unforgettable view of the surrounding peaks over 6000 meters. We’ll be able to admire the mountains of Contraihierbas, Ulta, Hualcan, Huascaran, Chopicalqui and Yanapaccha.

Frozen cascades, blue glacier lakes and alpine meadows are many other natural beauties we will enjoy from the summit of the Nevado Mateo.

Finally, we have to return by the same route we ascended until we are again in the parking lot. Here we will take our transfer back to the city of Huaraz.

The best season to do this climbing trip is from April to December. So, if you are planning to come to the Cordillera Blanca during these months, contact me. In only one day you’ll live a really unforgettable experience!

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.
