Description

Vallunaraju (5,686m) is an incredible peak in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru. And, during this 8-day expedition you will get to climb to the summit of this snowy peak, while also visiting a number of amazing places in the breathtaking Peruvian mountain range.

The Vallunaraju Peak is located in the Huascaran National Park. From the summit of the peak, you will get to see a number of the country’s most famous, and largest peaks, including Huascaran (6,768m), which is the highest peak in all of Peru.

Our trip will begin in the Lima Airport. From there, you will spend a night in a comfortable hotel in the capital city. On the following day, we will take a bus ride to the beautiful town of Huaraz, where we will spend the night. In Huaraz, we will spend time on the third day hiking around, which will help get you properly acclimatized. On day 4, we will make our way through the Quebrada Llaca before reaching the Llaca Refuge, where we will spend the night. For the next few days, we will ascend Vallunaraju, slowly progressing up the peak, while spending 2 nights in various camps higher up the mountain before reaching the summit on the sixth day. After that, we will return to Huaraz and then Lima.

While this is not an excessively difficult climb, participants on this trip should nonetheless have prior climbing experience. You should also be in good physical condition.

Climbing Vallunaraju is an experience you will never forget. To enjoy this magical 8-day experience, just send a request. I look forward to guiding you.

I also offer a 3-day climbing adventure that will take you to the summit of the Nevado Pisco.

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.
