Description

The Cordillera Blanca is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. Don’t miss your chance and join me on a rock climbing outing to “The Sphinx” in this stunning mountain chain in Peru**!**

The Cordillera Blanca, part of the Andes, is a group of mountains located in Peru. Extending for 200km,  it includes several over-6,000m peaks, about 700 glaciers and 300 lakes. Furthermore, it is the highest tropical mountain range in the world.

On this rock climbing day trip, we will discover La Esfinge (The Sphinx), one of the most stunning crags in the area. This huge granite formation in the Paron Valley is one of the largest rock walls in Peru, and is a must for every rock climbing enthusiast that visits the country.

Also known as Paron Tower, this awesome spot offers routes for all levels. So you don’t need to be an expert rock climber to join me on this exciting trip!

What people are saying about Peru

He was very kind, patient and helped me to reach my goal the citadel of Machupicchu. One day I wanted to quit but he encouraged me to continue and waited for my step.

We did the MTB-Huarascan-Circuit (Crossing Punta Olimpica Pass and Portachuelo de Llanganuco Pass) with Eric Albinos „Peru Expedition“. All, the transfers, the hotel stays, the acclimatization tours and the circuit itself, was well organized. Eric and his staff were flexible to our wishes and very helpful. Our Guide Joni is an excellent mountain bike-guide and good tailor too if something is torn. The cook prepared delicious meals during the circuit. The camping equipment was in very good condition. We (Karin, Franz. Wolfgang) can fully recommend „Eric´s Peru Expeditions“.

The agency gave me a guide Darwin, not Juventino. Climb was good, easy just walking. There is one dangerous section near the moraine area with very loose gravel. So make sure you don't slip there or you are dead. I stayed in refugio at the base camp which was much more comfy than camping. Darwin was good but give clients some breaks once in a while, not rush too much. It's a high altitude climbing after all.

5 star guide. Nothing but the best.
