Description

The Huascaran National Park is a magical place ideal for all type of adventures. However, it is often reserved for those with previous mountaineering experience or expert hikers. But, worry not. As we’ve designed this trip so that you can bring your whole family along!

This 3 days hiking adventure welcomes everyone. The program mixes moderate hiking and vehicle transportation. Thus, making the traverse across the mountain much easier.

Our adventure begins in Huaraz, where our fully equipped and comfortable bus will be waiting for us to drive along the west side of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range. We’ll be passing many picturesque towns hard to reach otherwise. Then, we’ll head to the Lake 69, to later hike for about 3 hours to reach the best viewing point of all the snow peaks and the lake. Upon completion, we’ll drive up to 4,850 masl. Here, we’ll enjoy a hypnotizing sunset at the highest pass we’ll reach on this day. Finally we’ll drive to our hostel to recover our energies, visit an area where you can meditate, make a fire or simply enjoy the breathtaking night skies.

Then, our second day starts with a change of scenery, from the mountains in the background, to the enchanting towns we’ll visit. These villages combine the most fascinating architecture with intriguing history and traditions. And of course, we’ll get to try the local cuisine!

Finally, on our third and last day we’ll get to visit Huaraz, Peru’s highest peak. This magnificent mountain rising above the 4,850 meters, will offer some of the most hypnotizing views of the area. After taking in the mesmerizing sight of this colossus, we’ll head back to Huaraz where our trek ends.

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!

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.
