Description

Nevado Pisco, in the central part of the Cordillera Blanca, is one of the most famous mountains in Perú. If you want to live an unforgettable 3-day alpine adventure and reach its summit, then this trip is for you. Join me!

Nevado Pisco (5752m), which is about 60 km north of Huaraz, was first climbed in 1951. Due to its spectacular views and its easy approach, it is one of the most frequented destinations in the Peruvian Andes. It owes its name to the famous Peruvian drink.

On this 3-day mountaineering tour, we will get to the top of this impressive mountain after crossing cultivated areas, fruit forests, beautiful turquoise lagoons, and amazing glaciers. Then, from the summit of Nevado Pisco, the balcony of the Cordillera Blanca, we will enjoy a breathtaking view of the mountains of Huascarán, Alpamayo and Chacrajaru, among others. Additionally, sleeping in mountain camps will make this experience a real alpine adventure!

The ascent involves mostly walking  up to 35 degrees on snowy slopes. However, we will need harness and crampons to climb a 100m steep ice section. It is also important to have a good fitness level. Get readyfor 3 to 7 hours of hiking and climbing per day!

So, if you are up for this 3-day mountaineering tour in the Cordillera Blanca, please contact me. Let’s get to the top of Nevado Pisco!

We can also climb other stunning Peruvian peaks. Check out my Vallunaraju and my Yanapaccha trips!

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.
