Description
A challenging expedition in the Ishinca Valley that will take us to climb the Urus (5,420 m), Ishinca (5,530 m) and Tocllaraju (6,034 m) mountains. In addition, we will walk through a beautiful valley of the Cordillera Blanca, which combines the greatest attractions of the central Andes of Peru. Read more
In our expedition to the Ishinca Valley we will climb three mountains, which although they are very close to each other, have different characteristics from the technical and aesthetic point of view. The Urus Peak, which at 5,420 m is the lowest of the three, will allow us to achieve a good acclimatization to face the following challenges. It is also the rockiest of the three peaks and for its ascent we must first walk on ice and snow slopes. The 5,540 m Nevado Ishinca will be our next challenge. From its base camp we will start our way to the summit to enjoy one of the best views of the whole valley and its surroundings.
We will finish with the ascent to one of the most beautiful mountains of the Cordillera Blanca, the snow-capped Tocllaraju, 6,034m. This incredible icy pyramid will show us the true dimension of the mountains of Peru.
