**IFMGA/UIAGM Mountain Guide from Perú**

I started working on the mountains when I was still a college student, working in climbing and trekking tours.

This early passion quickly developed into a profession, for climbing and trekking in the Andes. I learned with experienced German, Canadian and Swiss guides, among others.

I like to share my experience and expertise acquired in expeditions around the world, and show visitors the beauty of the Peruvian Andes in the Cordillera Blanca, and all along my country.

I am a certified IFMGA-UIAGM mountain guide and member of the Association of Mountain Guides of Peru (AGMP).

I speak Spanish, English and Quechua.

The trek begins in Huaripampa valley and terminates in the Ulta Valley within the national park. On route you will pass Punta Union located at 4700m and also Punta Yanayacu at 4860m. Our final camp is close to an old avalanche site and along the trek will we visit glacial lakes, hot springs and enjoy some of the most breathtaking mountain vistas on the planet.

Cordillera Blanca is the mountain range that comprises the Huascaran National Park, well known for its high altitude hiking. The national park contains Peru’s highest peak, Herado Huascaran Sur (6768m), which we will dominate the horizon during our trek. Our hike will encompass many flat valleys perfect of hiking that allow one to take in the surroundings.

I can’t wait to share this stunning landscape with you, I have an intimate knowledge of the region and it is my privilege to guide you through its wild and majestic lands. Our trekking route goes through almost pristine terrain with hardly any settlements or other people along the way so we can leave modernity behind!

At this altitude one needs to be quite fit and with an adequate level of endurance. You will spend some time acclimitising to the conditions, however it’s not recommended that you join this trip as a beginner. To get here you will take a 50 minute flight from Lima and arrive in Huaraz.

13-day Trek from Santa Cruz to Ulta in the Andes, Peru

Cordillera Blanca is a renowned mountain range in the Peruvian Andes, famous for its spectacular array of high altitude hiking. It is based in Huascarán National Park and contains Peru’s highest peak, Herado Huascarán Sur (6768m), the peak I am super excited to help you summit.

From this elevation, the views are indescribable and it gives you panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains and valleys. There are endless flat valleys to enjoy along with hot springs and glacial lakes.

With its location just 20 km away from airport town Huaraz it is very accessible for keen hikers. Cordillera Blanca is vast at 200km long and has 17 peaks exceeding 6000m. I know these mountains well and take great pleasure in guiding hikers through its amazing landscapes. The region is barely populated and one can experience truly wild and unspoilt landscapes.

Trekking at this altitude requires a certain level of fitness, you will have time to acclimitise to the conditions however this trip is not for beginner hikers. To arrive in Huaraz you will take a 50 minute flight from Lima.

I’m ready and waiting for your company on this trip of a lifetime so sign up now and I look forward to sharing this experience with you.

If this trip excites you then join me on another [7 day trek in the nearby Cordillera HuayHuash](https://www.explore-share.com/?post_type=trip&p=217469&preview=true). Or if you are looking for something longer then consider this [13-day trek from Santa Cruz to Ulta](https://www.explore-share.com/?post_type=trip&p=218909&preview=true) through some of Peru’s most beautiful and dramatic scenery.

7-day Ascent of Mount Huascarán in Cordillera Blanca, Peru

Cordillera Huayhuash is a stunning mountain range in the Peruvian Andes that offers some of the most exciting high altitude hiking in the world.  Located 110km south of Huaraz and 50km south east of the better known Cordillera Blanca, the Cordillera Huayhuash is a 30km in length with breathtaking wild scenery.

Huayhuash mountain range boasts the second highest peak in Peru, Yerupaja (6634m) and has 7 summits exceeding 6ooom. The famous book and film Touching The Void was set in Cordillera Huayhuash’s second highest peak, Siula Grande.

I know these mountains well and take great pleasure in guiding hikers through its amazing landscapes. The location’s popularity is growing due to the high average hiking altitude of 4300m along with beautiful glacial lakes and hot springs. The region is sparsely populated and offers a real exploration of wild mountain terrain.

Due to the altitude, trekkers are required to be of intermediate fitness. There will be a day of acclimitising but hiking in these conditions requires stamina. A 50 minute flight from Lima will bring you to Huaraz and then we will transfer everyone to Llamac (3250m), a town that serves as our gateway into the Huayhuash mountain range.

Sign up now and I’ll be ready and waiting to take you around this breathtaking part of the world and steer you on this great adventure.

If this trip excites you, then consider another [7 day trek in the well known Cordillera Blanca](https://www.explore-share.com/?post_type=trip&p=218635&preview=true) with its famous valleys.
