Hua-10 : Pisco Summit - 3 Days of Andean Alpinism
Description
Enjoy a thrilling adventure in the high-altitude realms of Peru while taking on this iconic peak.
Nevado Pisco (5752 m) is a great option for those with little mountaineering experience and high mountaineering curiosity. The ascent is not too steep and is only moderately difficult. And during the way, the views of the Cordillera Blanca are truly magnificent. For example, you'll see Mount Huascarán (6768 m), the highest mountain in Peru.
On this 3-day program, we will set off from Huaraz. We will climb gently to make sure that you have time to properly acclimatize to the altitude. Furthermore, this will give us a chance to admire our beautiful surroundings. You can find a detailed itinerary below.
Keep in mind that although you don't need technical climbing experience to join this program, you do need a good fitness level. So start training! Of course, we will be there to help and guide you.
