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.

Mountain Guide
I was born and grew up in between the mountains of the Andean Range, always respecting and admiring nature. I now live in Huaraz, Cordillera Blanca, sharing my experience and passion with locals and visitors from around the world.
I've been climbing mountains for the past 9 years, and I became an official IFMGA mountain guide 4 years ago. As a guide, I organize expeditions in Peru and all around South America.
Please contact me if you are looking for a guide for a trekking or climbing expedition!
