Description

On this 7 day adventure, including an extra day in case of inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, I would like to guide you to the summit of the amazing Alpamayo peak (5,947m).

Starting in the town of Huaraz (3,100m), we will, after 4 thrilling days, reach the incredible summit of Alpamayo. In between those days, you will get to see and visit several amazing places. You will get to visit the town of Cashapampa. There, you will get to enjoy amazing views of the peaks in the Cordillera Blanca as well as the area’s rich flora. You will get to visit the town of Llamacorral. In Llamacorral, you will get a fantastic view of the Taulliraju peak (5,830m).

After leaving Llamacorral, the next 2 days will be spent climbing, enjoying and sleeping at the Alpamayo peak’s base camp and high camp. By taking our time going from one to the other, you will get to properly acclimatize. Thus ensuring you don’t suffer from altitude sickness, and enjoy the climbing experience.

Following the summit on day 4, we will then spend 2 days making our way back down the mountain. From the peak’s base we will make our way back to Huaraz. There you can relax, enjoy some delicious local Peruvian food, drink a Pisco Sour and reflect on the amazing climbing adventure you’ve just completed.

Have you ever dreamed of climbing a great South American mountain? Then send me a request, come to Peru, and let me take you to the top of Alpamayo.

Would you like to explore the beautiful high altitude lagoons in the Cordillera Blanca? Then join me on this trip and see the famed Laguna 69, or this trip, where you can see Willcacocha.

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!

Maxine

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.

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.
