Description

Located in the Huascaran National Park, the Nevado Mateo (5,150m), also known as the Contrahierbas, is a great mountain in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru. Furthermore, it is a mountain you can climb in just one day.

Our journey will begin early in the morning, at approximately 3:30 am in Huaraz. From there, we will venture to the Quebrada Ulta and then the Tunel Punta Olimpica (4,750m). After that, we will climb for approximately one and a half hours to the summit of the Nevado Mateo. From the summit, you will get to enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding peaks under the morning sun, including Chopicalqui, Huascaran, Ulta and more. Afterwards, we will descend the peak and return to Huaraz.

While not a technically difficult climb, there are some tough spots. However, we will professionally and carefully guide you through. And, while participants on this trip don’t have to be climbing experts, you should be in good physical condition.

To climb to the summit of a 5,000 meter plus peak in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru is a great way to spend a day. To join us on this unforgettable adventure to the summit of the Nevado Mateo, please send a request. We have no doubt you’ll have a great time.

The guide did the absolute minimum he could possibly do. The food provided was definitely not enough for what we were doing. This was already a fast itinerary and he cut it short by two more days. It made it extremely dangerous for us as clients. 2 of the 5 of us had to get flown off the mountain by helicopter due to edema because we didn’t acclimate properly. The guide then lied on social media and claimed 100% success to the summit. He really is a snake. He only cared about cutting everything and doing it as cheap as possible, most likely just to make a few more bucks. If this was a service offered in the U.S., there would’ve been a lawsuit. He should never guide this trip ever again for the pure safety of the clients.
