Nevado Vallunaraju

We'll start our day very early, at 2:00 a.m., with an early breakfast to prepare us for the ascent. After about a 20-minute hike, we'll reach the glacier's trailhead. Here, we'll gear up with the necessary technical equipment and, once roped up, begin the climb along the southwest face. Throughout the ascent, we'll overcome crevasses and trails that have been transformed by the effects of climate change.

We'll reach the pass and, from there, continue along a narrow ridge that will take us directly to the summit of Vallunaraju, located at 5,685 meters above sea level. From this point, we'll enjoy spectacular views of the Cordillera Blanca and its majestic peaks, including Huascarán, Huandoy, Chacraraju, Copa, and Chopicalqui.

After a moment of contemplation at the summit, we'll begin the descent, which will take approximately three hours to reach Campo Morrena and then two more hours to return to Quebrada Llaca, where our private transportation will be waiting for us. Finally, we'll return to Huaraz for approximately 1.5 hours, concluding our experience between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m.
