Description

If you are eager to take part of a spectacular climbing adventure, come with me to this trip to Mount Ishinca! The expedition has quite lots of challenges, marvelous rewards and, also, breathtaking landscapes.

The Cordillera Blanca has many very high peaks to explore.

Mount Ishinca, with its 5530 meters, results one of the most popular summits of the mountain range.

We will find the mountain snuggled between the peak of Ranrapalca to the West and Palcaraju to the East. Both summits are over 6000 meters high.

During the ascent to the mountain’s top, we will encounter solely snow and ice.

Once onthe summit, you will enjoy a magnificent view of the surrounding settings. On a clear day, the peaks, covered in snow, are going to be at sight.

Do not miss the amazing opportunity to get to the top and discover these breathtaking views of the Cordillera Blanca.

The duration of the trip is 3 days. The goal is to get to Ishinca Base Camp on the first day.

Therefore, once we get there, we will have already ascended 4390 meters.

At last, the second day will give us the opportunity of climb upwards and attempt summit.

Don’t forget that our will be your guide and the climbing groups will have 2 to 5 members approximately.

Most importantly, the idea is for your expedition to be both safe and fully personalized.

So, do not hesitate and join me in this fantastic adventure to Mount Ishinca in Perú. I assure you that the view you will get from the peak’s height will leave you speechless and will be worth the effort. I’ll be waiting for your contact. It will be a pleasure to accompany and guide you to this famous top in the Cordillera Blanca.

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.
