Description

Come with me on this ascent and discover the Chopicalqui, one of the most beautiful peaks in the Cordillera Blanca.

The Chopicalqui Mountain is a 6,345 meters peak located inside the Llanganuco Valley in the Yungay Province of Peru. It is the third highest peak from the Huascaran snow-covered massif. From its summit, we can enjoy the view of the most astonishing panorama of the Cordillera Blanca.

First, we’ll meet in Huaraz and drive through Yungay and the Llanganuco Valley to the Ancosh Valley during around 3 hours. From this point, it will take us from 4 to 5 hours to get to the Moraine Camp (4,900 meters). On day 2, we’ll hike up during 4 or 5 hours to the High Camp (5,300 meters), our last stop before the summit. The following day, we’ll reach the highest point of the Chopicalqui and return to the Moraine Camp after a 14 to 15 hour hike. Finally, on day 4 we’ll go back to the Ancash Valley and drive to Huaraz.

If you want to take this ascent, consider that you should have a very good level of fitness and some previous mountaineering experience.

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.
