Description

If you are looking for a calm ascent to an amazing mountain and have little experience in mountaineering, this trip is perfect for you. Come and discover the Vallunaraju with me.

The Cordillera Blanca is a mountain range in the Peruvian Andes that contains the highest peaks of the country. Among them, you can find the Vallunaraju, one of the most popular mountains and the easiest to ascend. Also, it is the ideal place for courses, ice climbing, and skiing. With 5,586 meters, it is located in the Huaraz province inside the Ancash region.

This 2-day ascent will start in the city of Huaraz and then we’ll drive to the Base Camp (4,000 meters) during 1 hour and a half. Once there, we’ll hike up to the Moraine Camp (4,900 meters) for about 4 to 5 hours. During the second day of the trip, you will get to the top of the Vallunaraju after a 6 to 8 hours trek across the mountain. Then we’ll return to the Base Camp and drive to Huaraz. This ascent has an elevation gain of 700 meters from the Moraine Camp.

Remember that this ascent is not difficult and doesn’t require much previous experience. Nevertheless, to count with a good level of fitness is an important aspect to consider.

So have you decided yet? Do not hesitate and send your request for this ascent. I will be happy to guide you through this fantastic mountain and astonishing landscapes of the Peruvian Andes.

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.
