Day hike to Wilcacocha Lake + Churup Lake & Climbing Urus + Ishinca + Tocllaraju
+ Chopicalqui Mountains in the Cordillera Blanca.
CANADA 18th September, 2010.
So, below is a synopsis of my experience with Peru Mountain Climb.
My experience with Peru Mountain Climb was excellent. The communication was excellent for day one before we left for Canada. When we arrived in Lima, some one was there to greet us and ensure that our transfer to Huaraz went without a hitch.
From Huaraz, the trips to base camp were well organized. Victor Vargas, the cook that came with us, was awesome and always smiling. He's cooking was second to none, and that's not just because we were tired and hungry at the end of the day. The trekking to base camp had either donkeys and/or porters to help us get there, but if you're feeling brave you can carry all your gear to base camp.
The guides that we had were very knowledgeable and dependable. Especially for the technical portions of the climb, we really depended on them to set up the ropes and belay us as we made our ascent. Since we don't do this very often, we found it invaluable to have a guide who knows the routes and where to setup the anchors.
Overall I would recommend Peru Mountain Climb for the following reasons:
1. Flexibility within the time constraints of the trip - we had to switch guides in between and one of the original peaks (Huascaran) was closed due to frequent avalanches, but the itinerary was quickly changes to ensure that we maximize our climb while we were in Peru
2. Friendly and helpful service - I was very impressed with Yessica's work in terms of timely communication and I felt that she really had our interest in mind all the time. Not only did she ensure our climb was good, she also tried to make sure that our "downtime" was well spent as well.
3. Great guides that ensured our safety came first, they were also very knowledgeable, and generally tried to Taylor the pace to individual physical abilities.
4. Very competitively price, at about 50-75% the cost of companies based in the US.
If I were to go back to Peru to climb, I would go with Peru Mountain Climb again for sure. Thank you Yessica for a great trip!
Sincerely

Day hike to Wilcacocha Lake + Churup Lake & Climbing Urus + Ishinca + Tocllaraju + Chopicalqui
Mountains in the Cordillera Blanca
Canada, July
In June of 2010, myself and 2 others from Canada did an expedition with Peru Mountain Climb to Ischina, Urus, Toclarajju and Chopacalqui over 12 days. Yessica organized all the logistics. Given the short schedule did a great job. The equipment and the food provided were good. The cook was excellent. The guides were, in particular, accommodating to the varied skill levels of our climbing party, and very good skills in terms of safety and mountain knowledge. I would recommend this guiding company, especially to those who have perhaps some previous experience and want no non-sense, reliable logistics service with an authentic Peruvian flavor.

Nick Sunderland

Day hike to Aguak Lake & Climbing Urus + Ishinca + Tocllaraju Mountains in the Cordillera Banca, Peru
CANADA, September 25th, 2010
For a long time I have wanted to try mountain climbing and so when I was in Peru I finally did. I researched many different companies throughout Peru and found Peru Mountain Climb to have the cheapest price yet still stress safety. When I arrived in Huaraz I was met by Yessica and given a short briefing and then directed to a good Peruvian restaurant. The following day I met with Yessica again along with my guide to explain how my mountain climbing would go. Yessica lent me some of her equipment so has to bring my price down as well she took me on a day hike for free. The same kind of hike that another company was charging $50 my experience with Peru Mountain Climb was fantastic! The 3 mountains I climbed in the Cordillera Blanca was amazing, the food was great and my guide was knowable. I would definitely recommend them for any experienced or non-experienced climbers such as myself. The feeling you get when you finally reach the summit of a mountain is beyond words and Peru Mountain Climb will get you there and back.

Our group of four enjoyed trekking with Peru Mountain Climb EIRL from Cashapampa to Vaqueria in September 2007. We trusted Peru Mountain Climb to make our travel arrangements to, from, and within Huaraz, and those arrangements worked out great. They arranged for our bus transportation and hotel accommodations, that both turned out well. The customer service from our guide (English speaking), cook, and donkey conducer were top Notch and they easily met all of our requests. We enjoyed the campsite cooking, lunches, and snacks that kept us going. Thank you for this experience. We were able to enjoy the hikes and views without any worries.
