Description

Are you already in the Cordillera Blanca? Are you not ready to go home?
Do you want to scale yet another peak? Then let me guide you on a 5-day trek to the summit of Artesonraju.

At first glance, the peak of Artesonraju may look familiar to you. That's because it inspired the world famous logo of Paramount Studios.

While many people are too tired to move at the end of a 2-week trek through the Peruvian Andes, some still want more. And at a rapid 5-days, this trip is a perfect add-on. However, this is not an easy climb. It is strenuous. Hence, scaling the Artesonraju requires past experience. You will be screened beforehand. But the rewards will be well worth it.

There is a reason Paramount Studios chose this mountain over any other. The peak is absolutely gorgeous. It is one of the most beautiful in all of the Andes.

Access to Artesonraju is pretty straightforward. Thus the condensed trip time. We will depart from Huaraz to the Paron Valley. After that we will make our way to the High Camp at the Glacier nestled beneath the mountain's southwest face. From there we will have 2 days to summit the mighty mountain's 600 meter snow and ice covered wall, before making our way back to Huaraz on the final day.

For the truly adventurous, join me on this amazing 5-day add-on trek up the Artesonraju because you're already there, so why not push yourself even more? Why not test your endurance and scale one of the most majestic mountains in the world?

I'll be awaiting your message.

And if you're looking for a great trip to add this one on to, you can join me on this expedition.

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.
