Description
Join me on this exciting, enjoyable and rewarding climb up Diablo Mudo, a stunning glaciated peak located within the Cordillera Huayhuash in the Peruvian Andes, and we will hike around some truly epic and awesome landscape and scenery, with the views out over the mountains and valleys that surround us never ceasing to make jaws drop.
Diablo Mudo is a mountain peak located in the Peruvian Andes, and standing at 5,380m high, is one of the more popular and accessible mountains to climb in the Cordillera Huayhuash area, with its glaciated and snow-capped peak making for a highly memorable scene.
After meeting on the 1st morning in Huaraz, we then spend the 2nd day acclimatizing to the high altitude, which entails a hike up to the pretty Churup Lake, located at 4,450m above sea level.
Day 3 is when we really start to tackle some proper climbing, as we meet our donkeys and donkey drivers before climbing up to our Rio Camp campsite, at 3,700m.
Day 4 involves hiking up to Cashpapampa Camp (4,300m), where we will catch our first glimpse of the mighty and majestic Diablo Mudo, before spending the afternoon checking all our climbing gear is in order.
Day 5 is the focal point and undoubted highlight of the trip, as we rise bright and early at 3am in order to climb to the summit of Diablo Mudo. Once there, an immense feeling of satisfaction and reward will wash over you, as the exquisite and spectacular views out over the mountains, valleys and countryside below will absolutely take the breath away.
After the exhilaration of this long day, the final 2 days are spent heading back Huaraz, where our adventure ends, hopefully having given you memories to last a lifetime.
This is a true bucket-list item and a gorgeous way to see the best of Peru – book now so you don’t miss out!

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!

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.

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.
