Description
Like most mountains in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru, the Nevado Ishinca (5,530m) is a spectacular peak. And for 3 days I would like to guide you to its summit.
The trip will begin in Huaraz. From there we will take a short drive to the trail head at Pashpa (3,670m). Once there, we will perform an equipment check and embark on a scenic 5 hour trek to the base camp of Ishinca, which is otherwise known as the snow covered mountain, where we will camp for the night.
The following morning, we will wake up very early, at approximately 2:30 am, eat breakfast and set out at around 3:00 am. We will hike for 2 hours before reaching the glacier. At that point, we will start ascending for the next 3 hours to the northwest face of the peak. With the sun rising, we should be standing atop the summit of the Nevado Ishinca. From the summit, you will get to see the glory of the Cordillera Blanca, and it’s many peaks, including Ranrapalca (6,162m) and Huantsan (6,369m). We will then return to the base camp for the night.
On the final day, we will make our way back to Pashpa through the Ishinca valley. Once we reach Pashpa, we will take private transportation back to Huaraz. Thus ending this unforgettable adventure.
Climbing in the Cordillera Blanca is a fantastic experience, and it would be my pleasure guiding you through it. So if you want to scale one of the most impressive peaks in this impressive range, just send me a request.
I can also take you to the summit of the great Vallunaraju on another great 3 day climb in the Cordillera Blanca.

His first steps he was off trekking and exploring on his own - through remote valleys and high Andean lakes. By age 12, he became the youngest to summit Mt. Vallunaraju (5686m). He next summited Nevado Chopicalqui (6354) at age 14, and by age 15, he stood on top of Nevado Huascaran - the summit he always dreamt of and the highest mountain in Peru. Beto remains the youngest Peruvian to have summited Huascaran.
