Highlights

  • Scale one of the most beautiful mountains in Peru, the Nevado Ishinca.
  • See the glory of the spectacular Cordillera Blanca.
  • Visit the lovely town of Huaraz.

Description

Like most mountains in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru, the Nevado Ishinca (5,530m) is a spectacular peak. And for 3 days I would like to guide you to its summit.

The trip will begin in Huaraz. From there we will take a short drive to the trail head at Pashpa (3,670m). Once there, we will perform an equipment check and embark on a scenic 5 hour trek to the base camp of Ishinca, which is otherwise known as the snow covered mountain, where we will camp for the night.

The following morning, we will wake up very early, at approximately 2:30 am, eat breakfast and set out at around 3:00 am. We will hike for 2 hours before reaching the glacier. At that point, we will start ascending for the next 3 hours to the northwest face of the peak. With the sun rising, we should be standing atop the summit of the Nevado Ishinca. From the summit, you will get to see the glory of the Cordillera Blanca, and it’s many peaks, including Ranrapalca (6,162m) and Huantsan (6,369m). We will then return to the base camp for the  night.

On the final day, we will make our way back to Pashpa through the Ishinca valley. Once we reach Pashpa, we will take private transportation back to Huaraz. Thus ending this unforgettable adventure.

Climbing in the Cordillera Blanca is a fantastic experience, and it would be my pleasure guiding you through it. So if you want to scale one of the most impressive peaks in this impressive range, just send me a request.

I can also take you to the summit of the great Vallunaraju on another great 3 day climb in the Cordillera Blanca.

His first steps he was off trekking and exploring on his own - through remote valleys and high Andean lakes. By age 12, he became the youngest to summit Mt. Vallunaraju (5686m). He next summited Nevado Chopicalqui (6354) at age 14, and by age 15, he stood on top of Nevado Huascaran - the summit he always dreamt of and the highest mountain in Peru. Beto remains the youngest Peruvian to have summited Huascaran.

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.
