Description

Peru pays homage to one of its most iconic mountains, Pisco (5,752m), naming its most famous liquor the same. So, don’t miss the opportunity to explore this national treasure. Follow me on this 4-day guided ascent to reach the summit of such a majestic peak. And perhaps we could even celebrate our accomplishments accompanied by a glass of pisco.

Aside from its incomparable beauty, Nevado Pisco is also known as one of the easiest ascents in the Cordillera Blanca. Hence, it is perfect for those who don’t have previous experience climbing. Or, it is the ideal way to acclimatize, practice and prepare for higher targets. However, we could encounter crevasses on our journey. Therefore, we’ll gear up during the traverse through the glacier, with ropes, ice-axes and crampons.

Nonetheless, I will make sure we extreme precautions and follow all the rules necessary for a safe ascent. What’s more, I’ll accompany you all the way, until we reach Pisco’s summit, giving you pointers, so you can improve your climbing techniques.

But I promise it will be all worth it! Pisco will reward our effort with the purest air right at the top and hypnotizing sceneries. So, we will get privileged views of other equally magnificent peaks such as Huascaran, Peru’s highest mountain. But we’ll also be able to see up close Chacraraju, Chopicalqui and Huandoy amongst others.

So don’t pass on the opportunity to stand at the top of Pisco. Request to book this trip today, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure in the Peruvian Andes.

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.
