Description

What comes to your mind when you think about exploring Peru? Perhaps the most iconic places like Machu Picchu, the Andes, the Amazon or Lima. What about its intriguing and ancient culture? Or maybe its exquisite food? But, have you ever heard about the Cordillera Blanca or the Huascaran?

The Cordillera Blanca is one of Peru’s best guarded secrets. This stunning mountain range is not as famous as the Andes, yet its beauty is equally impressive! Join me on this 5-day expedition to reach the summit of Huascaran, a true gem in the heart the Cordillera Blanca!

Huascaran is a magnificent peak that offers some of the most dazzling sceneries in the country. It is Peru’s highest mountain. And it is the fourth tallest mountain in all the continent of South America. Standing right after colossal peaks such as the Aconcagua, Ojos del Salado, and of course Monte Pissis. Hence, it is one of the most exciting ascents in the continent!

The itinerary we’ll follow, will make you feel like we are true explorers searching and old treasure deep into the Peruvian mountains. We will cross enchanting forests and make our way through breathtaking glaciers. Also, we will visit many incredible villages along the way. Towns like Musho, will offer us a genuine experience of the local lifestyle and culture.

Then, we will reach the summit of Huascaran as the sun rises high in the sky. Therefore, we will get one of the most hypnotizing views of the Cordillera Blanca! It is a sight you simply cannot miss!

If you are up for this adventure, don’t hesitate and send me a request. I promise it will be a mountaineering adventure you won’t be able to forget.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
