Description

The Cordillera Blanca, in Peru, is a destination you cannot miss if you love hiking. Join me for one or more days in this beautiful setting! During this hike in the Cordillera Blanca, the Llanganuco Mountain Lodge will be our base.

If we stay for more than a day, we will spend the nights there. It is a very convenient accommodation with a prime location. In fact, from the lodge to the entrance of the Huascaran National Park we have only a 25-minute walk!

Before even starting the hike, we can already appreciate the unique views from the Llanganuco Lodge: we get to see the 3 highest peaks in the region. Around the lodge there are fantastic hiking options.

Depending on the time you have available and on your wishes, here are some of the places we can visit:
– Keushu lake and ruins (3505m)
– Llanganuco lakes (3900m)
– Ice of Huandoy (4000m)
– Lake 69 (4650m)
– Portachuelo pass (4800m)

If you have any particular preferences or questions, let me know! It will be fun to design the itinerary together.

Please request to book this trip and let’s explore together this splendid area of Cordillera Blanca. And if you want to keep exploring hiking options in Peru, check out one of my favourites, Hiking the Huayhuash circuit.

About the guide

Magno

Mountain Leader

I'm Mountain guide AGMP (Peru) since 1982 and IFMGA (international) since 1988. Technical Director of AGMP (Association of Mountain Guides of Peru) since 1996, I train future mountain guides.

I started as a porter helping my father in an expedition he organized in 1976. During my first expedition, it did not know anything about mountain, I had to do my first rescue because a client got sick. It has been a hard work to evacuate him because the motorway still did not get to Quebrada Honda.

I've organized numerous rescues in the mountains and the Amazon jungle and participated in scientific missions on behalf of American glaciologists as Lonnie Thompson. Familiar of the Alps and the Himalayas, the mountain ranges of Peru have no secrets for me.

Mountains are nice worldwide and give you good memories, but if I had to keep one expedition, I would take one in the Cordillera Blanca, Huandoy (North Face) or Yerupajá maybe.

What I prefer in this job is keeping learning new knowledge, nice life standard, travel and know the world and of course knowing people and cultures. I also like helping in the training of new guides.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
