About This Tour

Our trip will begin in the lovely mountain town of Huaraz. From there, we will travel to the beautiful Quebrada Llaca (4,200m). Afterwards, we will go to the Vallunaraju Base Camp, where we will spend the night. On the following day, we will climb to the summit of the peak. From the summit, you can enjoy some magnificent views of other nearby peaks. After you’ve soaked in the great views, we will then return to base camp and then the Quebrada Llaca and then Huaraz.

Participants on this trip should have some prior climbing experience. You should also be in good physical condition.

The opportunity to climb an amazing 5,000 meter plus peak in the Cordillera Blanca in just 2 days is one no climber should pass up. To seize that opportunity for yourself, all you have to do is send a request. We look forward to guiding you
