“it was amazing weather and we saw beautiful nature definitely recommend”
Private sunrise climb of Mount Mateo from Huaraz, with certified guide, crampons and gear included, plus vegetarian lunch.
“It was certainly a challenge but very rewarding to complete this experience. It was unfortunately not a clear day and this made it a little more challenging for a first timer of a snow climb, but the guides were great and it was well worth it.”
Climb Nevado Mateo from Huaraz with crampons, ropes, and a certified guide. Reach your first 5,150 m summit for glacier views.
“The hike was incredible but it was quite tough too. The views were absolutely incredible and we got some great weather with clear blue skies. Our guide spoke English which was great as was easy to understand him and we got to talk during the hike and learn more about other hikes he's done and was super open to talking about them. He was also very helpful when certain sections got a little tricky and would show a path to follow and on occasion even rope you up and pull you if needed for a small section”
9-hour Huaraz tour to Chinancocha (Llanganuco) Lake, Yungay 1970 memorial, plus Carhuaz and Taricá. Transport and guide included.
“Expérience décevante. Les lieux à découvrir sont sans intérêt. Ne perdez pas votre argent dans cette expédition. Attention, guide uniquement espagnol, malgré l'affirmation anglais basic, aucune explications n'est donné en anglais.”
One long day from Huaraz to Laguna 69 for turquoise glacial views, mountain walls, and a memorable hike through Cordillera Blanca valleys.
“El guía fue muy claro con tiempos y exigencias de la ruta, lo cual es de agradecer. El resto lo esperado, una auténtica pasada.”
Full-day trek to Parón Lagoon from the Huaraz area, with entrance included, small group, and an optional steep viewpoint hike.
“Very good and the guide, Junior, was very attentive at all times and made the journeys very enjoyable. The lagoon is a spectacle, I recommend going up to the viewing point, at first it seems a lot but the climb is really pleasant for people who go to the mountains from time to time.”
Full-day tour from Huaraz to Rocotuyoc and Congelada Lagoons, Llamaruri rock paintings, and Paqcharuri waterfall for $31.
“On a passé la journée à attendre c’était insupportable. En prime nous n’avons pas pu manger de 8h40 à 18h30 car il fallait réserver notre plat le matin soi-disant ????? Nous sommes retournés à Huaraz a + de 18h30 et pas à 17h30 comme indiqué, alors que nous avions un bus juste après.”
A full day from Huaraz to Pastoruri Glacier, Lake of Seven Colors, and cave paintings, with culture stops and a real high-altitude walk.
“precisa de preparo físico!! a altitude pega bastante, mas tem cavalos que podem ajudar a subir.”
A long day from Huaraz for a classic Laguna 69 trek, with mountain lakes, national park stops, and an optional lunch at 4,620m.
“The walk was very good. The bad thing is that you didn't pick me up at the hotel nor did you leave me at the hotel on the way back... which is what you had indicated. I think it's not a walk for everyone and the schedule should be respected.”
Guided day trek from Huaraz to Lake 69 in Huascarán National Park. High-altitude climb, turquoise water, small group, and real mountain views.
“Montée difficile à cause du manque d’oxygène donc ce n’est pas donné à tout le monde et il faut prendre cet élément en compte. Dénivelé positif de 700m en montée pour arriver à 4600m d’altitude. La vue est magnifique ! Arrêt prévu chez une super famille pour le petit déjeuner, il est très bon. Plusieurs arrêts sont prévus pour les toilettes avant le trek. Faites attention, nous avions reçu un message pour un pick-up à 8h30 alors que le guide est venu nous chercher à 5h ! Cela dit ce n’était pas la faute du guide Wilson, qui est super ! Prévoyez des vêtements chauds et contre la pluie. Si…”
