It’s an honor for me to invite you to this 11-day classic Huayhuash trek. It is a famous Peruvian mountain range with high summits and amazing landscapes.
This classic Huayhuash trek will lead you through impressive mountains, deep blue lakes and stunning glaciers. Besides, you will have the opportunity to visit local Andean villages and learn a lot about their culture.
During these 11 days we will not only hike across the Huayhuash mountain range but also visit the highlights of the Cordillera Blanca. This is the most extensive snowy tropical mountain range and has about 700 glaciers.
Some of the most outstanding places we’ll visit are the Siula Grande base camp as well as the San Antonio and Trapecio passes.
So, if you want to join me please keep in mind it is a moderate-difficult trek. That’s why you must have a perfect fitness level since we’ll walk several hours per day.
If you are planning to come to the Peruvian Andes you cannot miss this program. Contact me now for more details. Let’s conquer the Huayhuash range together!

I have contacted Quique for climbing my first 6000m (Ishinca and Tocclaraju). Based on my mountain experience Quique has helped me to prepare the required equipment and reassured me on the difficulty of the summit. In August 2019 I crossed the ocean and met him in Huaraz for a small expedition of 5 days. Quique is both a very professional mountain guide and a nice hiking companion, attentive to his client. He speaks several languages, he makes sure the food is good and well balanced, and for the one who wonders ... yes we reached the top of the Ishinca, and two days later the top of the Tocclaraju. It was not easy, but he made it possible.

Our guide, Quique. was top notch. I have used guides all over the world and he stands out in his knowledge, professionalism and kindness. I hope to try and use him in the future. In the mountains, one must adjust to changing conditions and he did so quickly and competently. Besides being one of the nicest people I have ever met, his skills in the mountains cannot be doubted.

We have climbed 20 mountains over 5000 meters together exceeding 6000 meters several times. Quique has always amazed me at his ability to find new and unique places to explore and visit. If you are considering using Quique for your next adventure you have made an excellent choice.
