What to expect

Alpamayo, catalogued as the most beautiful mountain in the world for its peculiar pyramidal aspect, won a photography contest in the world survey of scenic beauty held in Munich - Germany, in 1966.

The Nevado Alpamayo with a height of 5,947 m belongs to the beautiful Cordillera Blanca of the Peruvian Andes and is part of the Nevado Santa Cruz massif, therefore it is the most attractive for professional climbers who want to climb it year after year. In spite of not being a 6000 like the mountains that surround it (Santa Cruz, Pucajirkas and Quitaraju), it is one of the most climbed during the season due to the spectacular photographs that are captured in the sunset from its high camp and during its ascent. Undoubtedly, it is a challenge that makes many people dream and sigh.

The route that is climbed every season is called the Basque-French route, erroneously many climbers and guides know it as the French direct route. This route presents a Difficult difficulty level, it has between 450 to 500m of climbing, starting with 60º and reaching 85º degrees of inclination during the climb.
