Most Popular Mountain In Peru – Climbing Pisco - 4 days

If you are a beginner to climbing, ascending to snowy Pisco is the best location to start. Its ascent is not too difficult and it does not require any previous experience.
The beauty of the mountain’s natural environment makes it a truly unforgettable adventure. It offers a panoramic view of the most impressive mountain peaks of the famous White Mountain Range, such as Chacraraju, Artesonraju, Quitaraju, Alpamayo, Caráz, Huandoy, Huascarán, among others. Also, you will discover the tranquility of the crystalline glacial lagoons, Chinancocha and Orcococha.
With a height of approximately 5750 m, the snowy Pisco is often chosen by climbers to achieve acclimatization, before continuing to more difficult climbs. This spectacular peak is situated in the biosphere reserve of Huascarán National Park, with its wonderfully diverse variety of animals such as spectacled bears and vicunas, birds such as the condor, plants such as Queen of the Andes and other life forms.

We travel by private vehicle from Huaraz to the start of the trek. Start walking at Quebrada Demanda to Pisco base camp (camp or mountain hut). From the camp there are magnificent views of Pisco and all around to the high peaks of the Cordillera including Huascaran (at 6,768, Peru’s highest peak) and Huandoy.
Day 2: Base camp – Moraine camp 4900m / 16 076ft.
we hiked to Moraine camp and slept in the rocks, the area between the beginning of the snow and the end of the vegetation. This hike was more difficult because it was less of a trail, and more of hopping from rock to rock.
Day 3: Moraine camp – Summit 5750 m / 18 865 ft – Base camp.
Your summit climb of Pisco follows the occasionally narrow West Ridge. Snow and a little ice leads directly to the top.
