Peru, Cordillera Blanca - High Altitude Expedition - 14 days

Alpine climbing in Peru's Cordillera Blanca is an incredible experience every mountaineer should experience sometime in their climbing careers.
Alpine climbing in Peru's Cordillera Blanca is an incredible experience every mountaineer should experience sometime in their climbing careers. Our Peru climbing expedition is designed for those who want an introduction to high altitude mountaineering. Our choice of peaks, Ishinca & Tocclaraju, is perfect as an introduction into South American technical alpine climbing. 

We begin in the Peruvian mountain town of Huaraz where we begin our acclimating process by travelling by private vehicle to the high mountains for acclimating hikes and glacier travel practise. Then it's on to the Ishinca Valley where we attempt Ishinca, a perfect introductory peak. After Ishinca, it's on to Tocclaraju, a moderately technical and spectacular 6000 meter peak. 

We provide full logistical support including camp cooks, mule support and professional American mountain guides well versed in Peruvian mountain climbing. We believe in small groups for high altitude climbing for everyone's enjoyment and safety.

Level: 
Participants on the Peru Cordillera Blanca climbs should have some previous ice axe and crampon experience.

We also arrange Peru climbing trips on a custom basis for those who have specific goals in mind. We can easily accomodate your goals, abilities and desires with a custom itinerary.
