Description

On this exhilarating Alpamayo climb, you will have the chance to summit one of the most beautiful mountains in the world, in the stunning Cordillera Blanca of Peru!

At 5,947m, Alpamayo is one of the most gorgeous peaks in the Peruvian Andes. This world-famous mountain is admired for its perfect pyramid shape.

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.
