Description

Join me on this unforgettable climbing expedition in Peru. Reach three of the most stunning peaks in the Cordillera Blanca, Urus (5,495 m), Ishinca (5,530 m) and Tocllaraju (6,034 m). Don’t miss the chance to stand at the top of these colossal mountains!

Over a week, I will take you to the summit of three iconic peaks in the Cordillera Blanca. Each one has its own personality, its own and unique beauty, offering some of the most breathtaking views in the country. Climbing each one will give you a whole different experience, a one in a lifetime opportunity.

Moreover, all of them are perfect for acclimatization before attempting higher ascents. And they don’t necessarily pose technical difficulties. Thus, they are all perfect to get more confidence and practice on your climbing skills. But, they are also accessible if you don’t have previous experience and wish to gain some.

We’ll begin our mountaineering adventure in the town of Huaraz. So it will be the perfect excuse to get visit this gorgeous place and learn about the local culture. What’s more, we’ll get to try the local cuisine, which is famous around the world.

Then, from Huaraz, we’ll head to the Ishinca Base Camp. This will be our hub for the next few days, as it has the perfect location, and will give us access to the three peaks we’ll explore.

Aside from the chance to get to the top of Urus, Ishinca and Tocllaraju, we’ll also have the opportunity to visit many other wonderful places. One of the places I’ll guide you to is the lake Tocllacocha, a dazzling mountain lake surrounded by the most mesmerizing andean sceneries.

So if you want to join this expedition, just send me request. I promise it will be an adventure you will cherish for life!

About the guide

Daniel

Mountain Guide

IFMGA/UIAGM guide from Perú.

I was born in the Huaraz city, which is located between cordillera blanca & cordillera negra neighbor of huayhuash mountain range.

My passion for the mountain was born since I was a child, because I watched my father going to the mountain. When I was 13 years old I started going on treks with my father and clients, and as soon as I finished my high school I applied to the high school mountain center studies (CEAM) in 2001 and I graduated as an official mountain guide in 2005.

I have a wide guiding experience in trekking and climbing, organizing, trekking and climbing expeditions into cordillera Blanca & huayhuash in the Peruvian mountains.

I guided successfully in Mexico, Argentina where I climbed conquering the mount Aconcagua at (6959 m).

In Peru I have climbed the most beautiful mountain in the world mount "Alpamayo", and the Peruvian highest peak "mount Huascaran south peak". In 2005 I made a speed record climbing mounts "Alpamayo" & "Quitaraju" in 32 hours 16 minutes. I also opened some new routes to climbing in cordillera Blanca.

Aside from the AGMP / IFMGA certification, I also have the WFR certification.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.
