From the capital city of Lima, take a domestic flight to Huaraz, the gateway to the stunning Cordillera Blanca. This short but scenic flight offers breathtaking aerial views of the Andes Mountains, reducing travel time compared to the long bus journey. Upon arrival at Comandante FAP Germán Arias Graziani Airport in Anta, located about 23 km from Huaraz, private transportation will be arranged to take you comfortably to your hotel or expedition starting point. From Huaraz, we will board a helicopter for a direct flight to the Alpamayo Base Camp, offering a unique and exclusive experience with unparalleled panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. Important: Clients must arrive fully acclimatized before the expedition to ensure safety and optimal performance at high altitude. We recommend prior acclimatization in Cusco, Huaraz, or similar high-altitude destinations.

Today we have a good breakfast and prepare the expedition equipment for Alpamayo, from here we begin using a local team (porters, cook and local guides), who will help us carry everything. We set out for the moraine after a small lunch in Base Camp. The trail takes us across the steep moraine at the tongue of the glacier to Moraine Camp (4,900 m). Overnight Camp

Alpamayo High Camp is on the steep glacier at the base of Alpamayo and Quitaraju. Due to the constant shrinkage of the glacier, every year we find a different situation along this section. We find magnificent views from High Camp the summit looks close enough to touch! We have dinner a bit early because we must rise very early, for the long day that awaits us tomorrow. High Camp (5,300 m). Overnight Camp

Summit day! One possible route is the French route, a 60 to 80 degree wall of ice which narrows toward the top. . Above the wall, you need to conquer a few meters to the highest point of the narrow ridge. At the summit, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of the Cordillera Blanca! The neighboring peak of Quitaraju (6,036 m) is almost within striking distance; and to the southwest you can see the remarkable summit of Huascarán (6,768 m.) After a brief rest and photos at the summit, we return quickly to High Camp via a rappel down the route we came up. In good weather, the climb to the summit and return to base camp can be done before noon. The ascent takes 5-6 hours, while the descent takes about 2-3 hours. If participants are tired, we can stay one more night in High Camp. If everyone feels fine, which is usual, we descend to Alpamayo Base Camp (4,300 m). Overnight Camp

In the morning, at 10 or 11 AM, we will pick you up from Alpamayo Base Camp by helicopter and then head to the capital, Lima. The journey takes approximately 3 to 4 hours, depending on weather conditions in the area. Upon arrival in Lima, we will drop you off at the airport, followed by a private transfer to your 5-star hotel in the city.

After an unforgettable adventure, enjoy a comfortable stay in Lima. Depending on your departure time, you may have the opportunity to explore the city, relax at your 5-star hotel, or enjoy a fine dining experience. At the scheduled time, a private transfer will take you from your hotel to Jorge Chávez International Airport for your international flight back to your destination, whether it be the USA, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, or another country.
