High Altitude Rock Climbing Tour in Peru

Day 1: Welcome to Lima! We’ll pick you up and get you checked into your hotel in Miraflores. After settling in, we’ll savour our first taste of Peruvian food and enjoy a pisco sour while we go over our itinerary and get to know each other.
Day 2: Fuel-up with a healthy breakfast that highlights the amazing local fruits, then head out for a gear check and practice session at the nearby PIRQA climbing center. Learn how to prepare a classic Peruvian ceviche at a lunchtime cooking lesson, and in the evening, we’ll spoil you with a delicious dinner. Tomorrow, we head out to the mountains!
Day 3: Today, we enjoy an amazing scenic flight to Huaraz! Fly over the Andes mountain range and the sparkling Cordillera Blanca. After getting comfortable In Huaraz, let’s chalk up and try your first routes at altitude. You’ll need some time to adjust to the altitude, so we’ll take it easy.
Days 4-5: Drive to Llanganuco Lodge and hike to Laguna 69. This location is picturesque and perfect for acclimatization. Check out the local boulders and take in the dramatic high peaks as your lungs continue to adjust to the altitude. Enjoy a savoury dinner and relax in the evening — you’ll need it! Tomorrow’s training trek is up to Laguna 69, which forms part of the Huascarán National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site.

Day 6: Back in Huaraz, we make our final preps for Hatun Machay. Take advantage of your time in Huaraz to connect with home, as we’ll be going off grid for the next few days. At Hatun Machay and the ancient rock forest, you’ll find a place without wifi, but a stronger connection with the land, the rocks, and your climbing partners. Welcome to the simple life. Eat, sleep, climb! We’ll stay in a quaint refugio that overlooks the mystical rock forest.
Day 7-12: Gear up for some epic climbing! We’ll keep you fueled with hearty meals over the next few days while you enjoy a full variety of excellent climbing. Start the day at the sunny side crags, and in the afternoon, trek down to explore the classic walls and hidden sections tucked in between the eroded pinnacles and eerily shaped boulders. Before you leave, we will organize a group boulder jam and pull out all the crash pads to climb the iconic Rhino Boulder, a high problem and classic test piece in the area. Our trusty local guide will coach you through the intimidating moves as the rest of us spot and encourage you to the top. We’ll provide photo and video coverage to make sure you can share the moment with friends and family at home. Who wants to go first?

Day 13: Time for a well-deserved rest day! We’ll travel to Chancos to soak in hot springs and soothe our tired muscles. There’s even a developed sport crag nearby if you find you can’t sit still for too long! Meet for a group dinner and plan tomorrow’s climbing in Llaca valley.
Day 14: Eat breakfast together and travel into the spectacular Llaca Valley for a day of challenging climbing surrounded by high peaks and glacier views! Choose from a variety of sport and trad routes on quality granite with a few multi-pitch options too.
Day 15: Today, you are one of the first visitors to leave chalky handprints at Inca Wakanka on the steep orange walls, similar in texture and style to the rock at Hatun Machay, but even more remote. Give it all you’ve got on your final climbs, and tonight in Huaraz, we’ll throw our farewell party to celebrate a great trip.
