Description
Join us to climb 3 iconic peaks in the Cordillera Blanca- Urus, Ishinca and Tocllaraju in Peru!
Located just outside of Huaraz, the Ishinca Valley is a popular climbing destination for many climbers given all the amazing peaks which lie here.
The trek offers a variety of climbs as we’ll be ascending not one but three peaks on our journey- Urus, Ishinca and Tocllaraju.
This is an easy to moderate grade trek and is ideal for beginners who are looking for some high altitude experience. The approach is short and thus offers enough time to acclimatize and learn some basic snow and ice climbing skills.
Before beginning the trek, we’ll pick you up from Lima and transfer you to your hotel in Huaraz. You’ll spend the following day making an acclimatizing day tour to Churup Lake (4,450m).
The trek will officially begin in Huaraz and the first destination will be Ishinca Base Camp 4,300m. From there, you’ll get to Urus Summit (5,490m), to see some amazing vistas of neighboring peaks.
The next couple of days will lead to the high peaks of Ishinca (5,560m) and Tocllaraju (6,030m). Scaling on ice and snow and tackling moraine, you’ll gradually reach these two peaks, having learned basic climbing techniques. We have also included a rest day between these two hikes so that you recharge well and approach the peaks with full vigor.
After achieving the majestic feat of scaling 3 peaks in such a short time frame, we’ll return to Huaraz via Cochapampa to end the incredible trip.
We can also organize a customized trip based on your preference and skill level. So, you don’t have to worry about anything!

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.
