Huascaran Sur 7 days

The base camp will be at about 4,300 meters (14,107 ft) and will take about 4 to 5 hours to hike up to. You will stay the night here at the base camp.

After an early morning breakfast, you will begin to ready for your climbing gear. With the help of the porters, it will take an estimated time of 3 to 4 hours to reach the Moraine Camp. The route will include walking up a rock face of about 200 meters (656 ft).

When you wake you will have breakfast and then begin once more to hike from Moraine Camp to the high camp. At times you may have to do some rock climbing, about 3 hours’ worth to reach the glacier. Once at the glacier you will take about another hour to reach high camp 1 at 5,400 meters (17,716 ft). You will have amazing views from here with different mountains all around. You will stay overnight camping over the
glacier.

Today, you will begin climbing early in the morning towards Camp 2. You will climb for about 4 hours. If there are other climbers in the area, it is best to pass the channel quicker rather than wait as this is considered an avalanche zone. You will arrive at Camp 2 around 10:00 am. You will stay overnight camping on the glacier at 6,050 meters (19,849 ft).

After breakfast in Camp 2, you will start climbing at 2:00 am. Along this route, you will enjoy the incredible views of different mountains and enjoy the breathtaking sunrise of the Cordillera Blanca. Arriving at the summit at 6,768 meters (22,204 ft) provides unreal views of the Cordillera Blanca and many other snow-capped mountain peaks. Take in the view and some pictures and you will begin to return down to Camp 2 to stay the night.

Early in the morning, you will begin descending back to the base camp. In about 2 hours you will reach Moraine Camp. Here you will have lunch and continue down to the Base Camp, which will take about another 2 hours. You will spend the night at the Base Camp at 4,200 meters (13,779 ft).

After a later wake-up in the morning, you will begin to descend to Musho, about a 3-and-a-half-hour walk. Here your private transportation will be waiting to take you back to Huaraz.
