General Trek & Climb Information

The Peruvian Andes are subject to conflicting weather influences coming both from the Pacific Ocean and from the jungle. Traditionally there is a "dry" and "rainy" season.

Generally, the months with more settled weather are May until September, with shoulder periods in mid-April and late September to October. However, world climatic changes are affecting weather patterns in Peru. Periods of cloud and rain during what were traditionally the driest months are possible.

Mountaineering Specifics: For 5000m and non-technical peaks, the optimal window is May to September. 6000m and highly technical peaks can generally only be climbed safely from mid-June to August, as conditions stabilize.

We cater to private groups, families, and solo travelers. If you are traveling alone, you can join our confirmed departures to share logistics and costs (groups are strictly capped at 6 to 8 people to preserve quality).

Travel from Lima to Huaraz: Huaraz is located 400km north of Lima. You can access our base via a 1-hour LATAM flight (morning departures) or via premium VIP bus services (Cruz Del Sur, Oltursa Bus, Movil Bus) which take approximately 8 hours. We also arrange private vehicular transfers upon request.

On treks and base camp approaches, our donkey trains carry the main logistical load. We request clients limit their personal duffel bag to a maximum of 12kg - 15kg. You will only carry a light daypack.

Water & Sanitation: All drinking water is boiled aggressively for 2 minutes to eliminate organisms. We provide hand-washing stations, private toilet tents (in the Cordillera Blanca), and enforce strict food-handling hygiene.
