Climb Pisco Mountain – 4-Day Guided Expedition in the Cordillera Blanca

Take your adventure to new heights with our 4-day guided climb to Pisco Mountain (5,750 m), one of the most iconic and accessible peaks in Peru’s Cordillera Blanca. This climb is the perfect introduction to high-altitude mountaineering, offering a rewarding challenge with breathtaking alpine scenery, expert support, and unforgettable Andean landscapes.

Begin your journey in Huaraz, the adventure capital of Peru, and travel through the stunning Llanganuco Valley, home to the famous turquoise lakes Chinancocha and Orconcocha. From there, your trek ascends gradually, giving you time to acclimatize as you make your way to Pisco Base Camp and then on to Moraine Camp, located just below the glacier.

The summit day is an early start, but the reward is unparalleled. As the sun rises, you’ll stand at 5,750 meters above sea level, surrounded by snow-covered giants like Huascarán, Chopicalqui, Artesonraju, and Alpamayo. This 360° view from the top of Pisco is a highlight that will stay with you forever.

Perfect for both beginner and intermediate climbers, this tour includes professional bilingual guides, camping equipment, meals, and mule support—you focus on the climb, we take care of the rest.
