Description

It’s a big pleasure for me to invite you to this 4-day mini trek in the Huayhuash range, the second highest tropical mountain chain of the world.

Our meeting point will be in Huaraz. If you come from Lima, Peru’s capital, you can take a 8-hour ride by bus to get there. There are also many available domestic flights that don’t take more than 50 minutes.

As for the itinerary, on day 1 we’ll travel to Llamac, the trailhead to get the 4200-meter peak of Rondoy and then we’ll go back Huaraz where we’ll spend the first night. The following day, after crossing the Rondoy Pass at 4750 meters, we’ll reach the Jahuacocha Camp. From there, on day 3, we’ll walk around to visit the Rasac and Solteracocha lakes. There is also the option of climbing up to the amazing Yaucha pass (4600 m). Finally we’ll return to Llamac on our last day, finishing our adventure again in Huaraz.

If you want to be part of this intense and exciting 4-day trek in the Huayhuash mountain range, please send your request now. I’ll be happy to guide you there and show you all the Peruvian treasures.

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.
