Description

The impressive characteristic landscapes of Peru show incredible mountains and snow-covered peaks. Come and admire them on this 2-day ascent to Yanapaccha.

The Yanapaccha is a mountain located in the Cordillera Blanca, the highest tropical mountain range of the world. With 5,460 meters above sea level, it is inside the Huascarán National Park in the Ancash Region. Apart from being a great place for mountaineering activities due to its elevated mountains, this park contains a huge variety of flora and wildlife, such as bears and condors.

The ascent to the mountain is a bit technical and perfect for acclimatization. As it is part of the Llanganuco Valley, a tremendous gorge surrounded by the highest summits, you will be able to delight yourself with the most wonderful views of the area. Also, during this ascent, you will experience an elevation gain of 550 meters.

This is a 2-day trip and we’ll meet in Huaraz. From there we will drive during 4 hours to Yungay and then to the Llanganuco Valley. After 2 to 3 hours, we’ll reach the Moraine Camp (4,900 meters) where we’ll spend the night. On the second day of the trip, you’ll reach the summit after an ascent of 7 to 9 hours and we’ll return to Huaraz by car.

If you want to join me on this ascent, consider that a good level of fitness and previous mountaineering experience are mandatory.

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!

Maxine

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.
