19-day guided trek on Alpamayo Mountain

During this trek you will cherish the white immensity of the Peruvian mountains, where lies a peak regarded as ‘the most beautiful mountain in the world’: Alpamayo Mountain.

Alpamayo (5947 m) is one of the most visible and attractive peaks in the western branch of the Cordillera Blanca —a mountain range which is part of the Peruvian Andes— and is situated within the Huascarán National Park.

On this 19-day guided trek we’ll reach altitudes higher than 4000 m, so acclimatization will be very important. In order to gain height gradually, we’ll spend the first days of the trip hiking along different peaks surrounded by extraordinary landscapes. From the Cordillera Negra Wilcacocha (3800 meters), for example, you will appreciate almost the entire Cordillera Blanca.

Our trekking tour begins in the town of Hualcayán. You will first pass the lagoons of Yanacocha and Azulcocha and appreciate a spectacular view of Santa Cruz Mountain (6259 meters) from the beautiful Cullicocha lagoon.

During this trip you will also enjoy a great sunset at Cañon del Pato, where the Cordillera Blanca and Negra meet, and see the Andean cereal crops: kiwicha and quinoa.

For further details, you can find the complete itinerary below this description.
