IMAGES FROM PERU!!

Here are some images from the trip to Alpamayo in Peru.

This is a view from our hotel in Huaraz of Huazcaran  which is the tallest peak in Peru.  


Typical food of Peru where is all natural and delicious.....

Our acclimatization hike to some pre Inca ruins.....


After living Huaraz our next stop was Cachapampa where we pack all the gear in Burros and start hiking in. I took a photo with the future alpinist of Peru....


The trail to our first camp was really cool.....


We hike by a huge lake the view from here was fantastic.....


Some of the rock formations here where pretty tall like a big wall.....


In our rest break our porters and cook took really good care of us with awesome food....


Getting closer to BC of Alpamayo...... 


 Once establish in BC the 360 view offer beautiful panorama.....


 Taking a breakfast before going to a hike. Here is most  of the team.......


This photo is taking from our camp 3. we can see from here the glacier that we need it to cross in order to get to high camp....

Getting all the gear ready including the Blue Water Ropes to head up HC, getting there we need it to do some technical climbing.....


Once a HC a great view of Alpamayo and the route that we climbed super great view from this camp...


Most of the way up!!!! This face was about 400 meters long with super fun ice climbing....


After 5 hours of climbing all the team was at the summit 19,511 feet great to be up there......



After our summit we came down to BC to rest and eat some amazing food that our cook Max had ready for us!!!
