Mt. TOCLLARAJU

Day 01: Huaraz (3100m) – Ishinca Valley – Base Camp (4400m).

Our adventure begins in the city of Huaraz, from where we head towards the fascinating village of Pashpa. This journey is truly enchanting, as we start in a high plateau with magnificent views of the majestic Huascarán, and then cross beautiful forests of quenuales. As we progress, the valley opens up, allowing us to enjoy impressive views of the majestic Tocllaraju. Finally, our ultimate destination is the Base Camp.

DAY 02: Base Camp – Moraine Camp (5200m).

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, we will be ready to start the ascent. For about five hours, we will climb energetically to reach our next camp. Once there, we will have the opportunity to delight in a stunning sunset while carefully organizing our mountaineering equipment for the most important day. This will be a key moment in our expedition, so it is vital to be well-prepared and organized. Finally, we will settle in the moraine camp, where we can rest and recharge our energy for the big day ahead.

DAY 03: Base Camp – Moraine Camp – Summit (6034m).

On this day, we will leave our camp very early at 2:00 am with a nutritious breakfast to give us the necessary energy. We will begin the ascent towards the summit, which will take us 6 to 7 hours of constant climbing. The first few hours will be easier as we will only walk on the glacier. However, as we progress, the path will gradually become steeper, reaching an angle of approximately 45° to 55°, requiring all of our concentration and skill to keep moving forward.

Before reaching the summit, we will encounter two more difficult sections, for which the guide will fix an anchor point to be safe and overcome that section with an inclination of approximately 65° to 70°. But the view from the summit will be rewarded enough for all the effort made. We can delight in the beauty of the surrounding mountains.

Once we have enjoyed this unique moment, we will begin the descent by the same ascent route, being careful with every step we take. We will descend to the moraine and finally descend to the base camp, where we will spend the night.

DAY 04: Morrena Camp – Base Camp – Huaraz.

After breakfast, we return through the Ishinca valley to Pashpa, where our private transportation will be waiting for us to return to Huaraz.
