What you can expect

  • Over five days, you'll head into the Cordillera Blanca to conquer the Nevado Chopicalqui with the following itinerary:

    Day 1: Huaraz – Base Camp
    You'll start your adventure by departing Huaraz for the Llanganuco Gorge. The trail will treat you to majestic views of Huascarán and Huandoy. When you reach the base camp, you'll set up your tent and experience the thrill of the first night surrounded by imposing mountains.

    Day 2: Base Camp – Moraine Camp
    The trail becomes more challenging as you climb up to the Moraine Camp. The landscape changes: rocks, walls of ice, and the proximity of the glacier tell you that you're entering a different world. The night here will be magical, with the starry sky illuminating your rest.

    Day 3: Moraine Camp – High Camp (Glacier)
    With crampons and ropes, you'll venture onto the glacier. The crunch of ice under your feet and the pure high-altitude air will accompany you to High Camp. Here, surrounded by snow and silence, you'll get ready for the big challenge: reaching the summit.

    Day 4: High Camp – Chopicalqui Summit – Moraine Camp
    In the early hours of the morning, you'll begin the final ascent. Each step on the glacier will bring you closer to the summit, crossing crevasses and snowy slopes. Upon reaching 6,354 meters, the reward will be indescribable: an endless horizon of snow-capped peaks in the Cordillera Blanca. After reaching the summit, you'll descend to the Moraine Camp to rest.

    Day 5: Moraine Camp – Huaraz
    The descent will be more relaxed, allowing you to enjoy the Andean landscapes once again. When you return to Huaraz, you'll take with you not only the satisfaction of having reached one of Peru's most iconic summits, but also unforgettable memories of a truly unique experience.
