Description
The Cordillera Blanca, or “White Range” in English, is the highest tropical mountain range in the world. It lies in an exceptionally beautiful region with many lakes and glaciers. We invite you to join a certified, experienced mountain guide on this 17-day adventure and summit the Nevado Pisco and Alpamayo mountains.
Previous mountaineering experience isn’t necessary to climb Nevado Pisco, though you should have a good level of physical fitness. Upon reaching the summit you’ll be amazed by the view; you can admire the Huandoys, Alpamayo, Artesonraju and Chopicalqui peaks as well as the two highest mountains in Peru, Huascaran Sur and Huascaran Norte.
The pyramid-shaped Alpamayo is the most conspicuous of the Cordillera Blanca, with one side covered with huge ice shelves. It’s a challenging climb which should only be attempted by those with experience summiting high peaks.
The Cordillera Blanca is a dream destination for mountaineers. Book now for the trip of a lifetime exploring this stunning region.

The hike was canceled. We didn’t go anywhere. Didn’t even get into the country.

The agency gave me a guide Darwin, not Juventino. Climb was good, easy just walking. There is one dangerous section near the moraine area with very loose gravel. So make sure you don't slip there or you are dead. I stayed in refugio at the base camp which was much more comfy than camping. Darwin was good but give clients some breaks once in a while, not rush too much. It's a high altitude climbing after all.

He was very kind, patient and helped me to reach my goal the citadel of Machupicchu. One day I wanted to quit but he encouraged me to continue and waited for my step.

We did the MTB-Huarascan-Circuit (Crossing Punta Olimpica Pass and Portachuelo de Llanganuco Pass) with Eric Albinos „Peru Expedition“. All, the transfers, the hotel stays, the acclimatization tours and the circuit itself, was well organized. Eric and his staff were flexible to our wishes and very helpful. Our Guide Joni is an excellent mountain bike-guide and good tailor too if something is torn. The cook prepared delicious meals during the circuit. The camping equipment was in very good condition. We (Karin, Franz. Wolfgang) can fully recommend „Eric´s Peru Expeditions“.
