7 days (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: German and 4 more

95% Summit Success: Our 7-day pace is the "gold standard" for acclimatization, giving you a much higher success rate than shorter, rushed treks.

The "Whiskey" Adventure: Experience the most popular and scenic route on the mountain, famous for its diverse landscapes and the exciting Barranco Wall scramble.

Optimal Acclimatization: We use the "Climb High, Sleep Low" strategy at Lava Tower (4,630m), ensuring your body adapts safely for the final summit push.

Total Ecosystem Tour: Journey through 5 distinct climate zones in one week—from lush tropical rainforests to the magnificent arctic glaciers at the peak.

Professional Support: Our expert guides and mountain chefs prioritize your safety and nutrition, providing a high-quality, worry-free experience.
