Description

This 9-day expedition will take us to three iconic mountains of Cordillera Blanca, in the Peruvian Andes. In Cordillera Blanca there are around 200 peaks higher than 5000 m. We will go to Nevado Maparaju (5325 m), then Huapi (5421 m) and finally Ishinca (5550 m).

During this hike, we can appreciate the mountains and lagoons surrounding Cordillera Blanca. They are a feast for the eyes!

Climbing Maparaju, Huapi and Ishinca is a great adventure for foreign climbers. In fact, it is a great option if you are already properly acclimatized and want to continue exploring.

We will follow the route: Valley Quillqueyhuanca – Cojup – Ishinca.

During the hiking part of the trip, we will camp. We have a cook to prepare your meals.

Please contact me if this beautiful trip in the Andes in Peru sounds interesting! I would love guiding you up there.

Man

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.
