The Cordillera Blanca, in Peru, is a destination you cannot miss if you love hiking. Join me for one or more days in this beautiful setting! During this hike in the Cordillera Blanca, the Llanganuco Mountain Lodge will be our base.
If we stay for more than a day, we will spend the nights there. It is a very convenient accommodation with a prime location. In fact, from the lodge to the entrance of the Huascaran National Park we have only a 25-minute walk!
Before even starting the hike, we can already appreciate the unique views from the Llanganuco Lodge: we get to see the 3 highest peaks in the region. Around the lodge there are fantastic hiking options.
Depending on the time you have available and on your wishes, here are some of the places we can visit:
– Keushu lake and ruins (3505m)
– Llanganuco lakes (3900m)
– Ice of Huandoy (4000m)
– Lake 69 (4650m)
– Portachuelo pass (4800m)
If you have any particular preferences or questions, let me know! It will be fun to design the itinerary together.
Please request to book this trip and let’s explore together this splendid area of Cordillera Blanca. And if you want to keep exploring hiking options in Peru, check out one of my favourites, Hiking the Huayhuash circuit.
Mountain Leader
I'm Mountain guide AGMP (Peru) since 1982 and IFMGA (international) since 1988. Technical Director of AGMP (Association of Mountain Guides of Peru) since 1996, I train future mountain guides.
I started as a porter helping my father in an expedition he organized in 1976. During my first expedition, it did not know anything about mountain, I had to do my first rescue because a client got sick. It has been a hard work to evacuate him because the motorway still did not get to Quebrada Honda.
I've organized numerous rescues in the mountains and the Amazon jungle and participated in scientific missions on behalf of American glaciologists as Lonnie Thompson. Familiar of the Alps and the Himalayas, the mountain ranges of Peru have no secrets for me.
Mountains are nice worldwide and give you good memories, but if I had to keep one expedition, I would take one in the Cordillera Blanca, Huandoy (North Face) or Yerupajá maybe.
What I prefer in this job is keeping learning new knowledge, nice life standard, travel and know the world and of course knowing people and cultures. I also like helping in the training of new guides.

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.
