Description
This is the ideal trip to immerse yourself in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru.
On this trekking adventure, we’ll get the chance to see up close some of the most impressive peaks in Peru. Some of them are the twins peaks of Huascaran, Chopicalqui, Yanapaccha, Huandoys and Chacraraju.
Moreover, the paths we’ll take are brimming with wonderful andean alpine flora. Many wildflowers like orchids, bromeliads, buttercups, lupines and ranunculus will inundate our trail with their exquisite scent and dazzling colors.
Then, there are other creatures that inhabit these lands too. So keep your eyes open, as you could spot falcons, hawks, mountain caracaras, American kestrels, Andean swifts and hummingbirds gliding in the air. Or you could encounter Andean geese and ducks, puna ibis, Andean foxes and mountain vizcachas roaming around.
As for the itinerary, both days will be full of surprises. On the first one we’ll meet and drive through mesmerizing sceneries along the Callejon de Huaylas Valley. Then, we’ll reach the Huascaran National Park, passing the Llanganuco Lakes and heading to Cebollapamba (3,900m).From there, we’ll hike to the Pisco Base Camp, where we’ll stay at a Mountain Hut for the night.
After a good night sleep, we’ll hike along a rocky the path next day, until we reach an amazing viewpoint. From that spot, we’ll descend to Lake 69 to explore this hypnotizing area. And then, we’ll trek towards the Demanda Valley, back to Cebollapampa, where a vehicle we’ll drive us to Huaraz.
So don’t miss the opportunity to reach the Pisco Base Camp, and explore Lake 69, in the Cordillera Blanca. Send me a request and let’s get prepared for this adventure.

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.
