Description

The highest mountain in all of Peru, Huascaran (6,768m), is an incredible peak. And, for 6 days, we would like to guide you to the summit of this amazing mountain that is located in the Cordillera Blanca.

There is something unbelievable about climbing to the top of the highest peak in a country. It is almost magical to know that you are standing at the highest point in an entire nation. And, from that summit, even if for just a fleeting moment, it will feel as if you can see the entirety of the country. That is what you’ll get to experience from the top of Huascaran.

Our journey will begin in Huaraz. From there, we will make gradual progress up Huascaran, stopping in various camps along the way.

Due to the sheer enormity of the peak, the journey to its summit will not be easy. Along with being very physically demanding, proper acclimatization is paramount. Furthermore, while not a very technical climb, Huascaran does nonetheless offer some challenging aspects, including the crossing of large cracks and the risk of avalanche. As a result, participants on this trip, along with being in good physical condition, should have prior mountaineering experience.

Climbing Huascaran in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru is a journey you will never forget. To take the journey with us, all you have to do is send a request. We look forward to guiding you.

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.
