Trip Overview

With at least 269 lakes, 663 glaciers, 41 rivers and 33 summits rising over 6000 m, the 180 kilometre-long Cordillera Blanca is arguably the world's most magnificent mountain range.

Alpamayo (Base Camp) Trek is our favourite hike here, a challenging high altitude tramp. Alpamayo — often listed as one of the world’s most beautiful peaks — is only one highlight of many.

    Lima – Huaraz (Breakfast)
    Transfer to the bus terminal for the 8 hour bus journey to Huaraz, set in the heart of the Peruvian Andes. Transfer to your hotel.

    Huaraz (Breakfast)
    Free day.
  • Day 4

    Leaving Huaraz you will head north to the small town of Yungay at the foot of the Quebrada Llanganuco. Entering the Quebrada you will continue heading east into the mountains to the wide and pastoral valley between Huascarán on the south and Huandoy on the north. Camp near the trailhead at Cebollapampa. An easy day to achieve further acclimatisation.
  • Day 6
    Acclimatisation hike to Lagoon 69 (Breakfast, lunch and dinner)

    Your summit climb of Pisco follows the occasionally narrow West Ridge. Snow and a little ice leads directly to the top. Pisco is well known for its incredible views, and with strategic view points there will be many opportunites for photographs. The close proximity of the neighbouring peaks of Huandoy and Chacraraju are astonishing. Return to Base Camp. From the Base Camp, continue the hike out to Cebollapampa campsite.

    Great Service! Very good company Makalu Adventure for Expedition

    I successfully climbed Mt Everest (8848.86 m). The climbing was much adventurous and challenging than other peaks I submitted before. Well it was definitely dangerous and thrilling but what made it easier and worth it was Makalu Adventures. I'm so glad my friend recommended me Makalu Adventure. The whole trip was so well organized, the sherpas (Phurba Onggel Sherpa and Dasange Sherpa) guided us all the way to the summit making the journey smooth. I had a lot of fun and the accommodation along with the food was great even in the higher altitude which I did not foresee. It was an experience to remember for a lifetime. Thank you Makalu Adventures for a great adventure. Great services

    Wonderful experience of World's Highest Mountain Mt. Everest (8848.86 m) climbing

    My name is Gabriella Nicola Nel, I just submitted Mount Everest with Makalu Adventure. It was an incredible experience; we did have some hiccups in terms of getting frostbite on the way down from the summit and I'd just like to thank Mohan and the Makalu Adventure team for organizing a long long rescue from Camp 3 which is extremely difficult and I believe that the company saved my life with a successful Summit. As well for the season which was a very dangerous season I'd just like to thank everyone from Makalu Adventure.
