Peru Trek and Climb
Award Winning Adventure off the Gringo Trail with three optional climbs
For beginner climbers and experienced trekkers this is a perfect trip for those looking for introductory level high altitude climbing. Participants need only little or no basic mountaineering skills. Our ascents are located in one of the world’s finest mountaineering areas and offer straightforward glaciated climbs.
Do the trip as a trek only, or bring along your ice axe and crampons and climb three straightforward peaks as you traverse the range.
During the trek we are surrounded by incredible peaks, turquoise lakes, and lupine covered meadows. Along the way we climb three straightforward 5000+-meter / 16,404+-foot peaks suitable for those with no mountaineering experience. Ascents include Maparaju, Huapi, and Ishinca.
If you are thinking about going to K2 Base Camp some time in the future, this is an excellent warm-up trip for the Karakoram classic.

Climbers should be comfortable on 45 to 60 degree snow/ice slopes, waterfall ice climbing up to WI2-WI3, and/or moderate rock from 5.6-5.8+. Participants will have a well-rounded history of climbing experience.
Similar to level four, but there may be four difficult days in a row over passes and could have elevation gains of more than 3,000 feet / 915 meters. Given multiple difficult days on this level of trek endurance is key and preparation should be more rigorous.
