Alpamayo ascent

Peru is great to discover. It offers breathtaking landscapes: the oceanic coast, tropical forests, high alpine plateaus, its colourful and welcoming people and its history which has fascinated more than one. Our trip will focus on the Cordillera Blanca mountain range. This mountain range is located in the northern region of the country.

It culminates more than 6750m and counts not less than 25 peaks over 6000m. Conditions encountered in these mountains are variable. An impressive phenomenon in this region is the formation of soft snow ridge that hold at 60 ° of inclination which is unbelievable until you are standing next to them. The Cordillera Blanca has several impressive mountains.

For this trip we will go to the Santa Cruz area to live the experience of a true mountain expedition. We will focus our efforts on two of the most beautiful mountains.

To help us transport our equipment to the basecamp we will be using the local muleteer services. As an expedition you will still need to carry some of the equipment; after all it is your experience. We believe it is by actively taking part in the expedition that you will live the full mountaineering experience and fell part of the climbing community.

Preparing meals and organizing food is something that requires lots of time in the mountains. Since everything has to be ready at the right time we will hire a professional Peruvian cook and porter. The cook and porter has received formal training.

From the time you sign up for the trip we will be there to help to make sure are going to be ready for the big day.
