Description

Tocllaraju is a 6,032m mountain of the Peruvian Cordillera Blanca, and one of the most amazing peaks in the entire Andes range. This trip is your opportunity to reach its summit with an expert local guide. Join me!

Located almost entirely within the Huascaran National Park, the Cordillera Blanca extends for 200 km and includes several over-6000m peaks and hundreds of glaciers. Tocllaraju, first climbed in 1939, is one of its emblematic mountains and a popular mountaineering destination.

This 6-day ascent requires previous climbing experience and a good fitness level. You should be physically able to hike and climb several hours per day, and be technically prepared for some steep ice sections.

This will be an unforgettable alpine experience. We will cross beautiful gorges, native forests, glaciers and rivers. Then, at night we will rest in tents, surrounded by  fabulous alpine landscapes. Breathtaking views of huge mountains such as Huascaran, Hualcan and Palcaraju are waiting for us! You can check the complete itinerary below!

So, if you are up for this 6-day mountaineering adventure  in the Cordillera Blanca, please contact me. I’ll be glad to take you to the summit of the impressive Tocllaraju!

We can also climb the highest peak in Perú: check out my 5-day Huascaran trip!

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.
