The Golden Hour on the peaks of Huandoy

Ascent of Nevado Chopicalqui

20,833 feet / 6,350 m

This impressive peak is ideal for a first experience of high altitude climbing. Although physically demanding, it does not require particular technical skills. The surrounding and prestigious summits of Huandoy, Pisco, Chacraraju and Huascarán offer the most stunning views. We highly recommend this trip!
