The Cordillera
Blanca is the
highest mountain
range in the Peruvian
Andes and the
highest tropical
Cordillera in
the world. The
region's relatively
easy access, excellent
climate and friendly
people make it
perfect for climbing,
and this challenging
adventures provides
some of the most
spectacular opportunities
that the Andes
have to offer
you. For 2000
we have joined
the ascent of
the popular Alpamayo
peak( 5947m) with
Huascaran (6768m),
Peru's highest
mountain.
You'll have the
unique occasion
to climb two of
the most selected
peaks in the Cordillera
Blanca in just
one challenging
expedition. We
approach the extraordinary
pyramid of Alpamayo
from the village
of Cashapampa,
and make our base
camp in the Santa
Cruz valley. The
Santa Cruz valley
is perhaps one
of the most beautiful
valley in the
Cordillera Blanca.
