YOUR DREAM OF THE SIX-THOUSAND: Trekking in the Cordillera Urubamba Inca Culture to Machu Picchu and Ascension Nevado Chachani 6076 m
Peru is the country that can completely satisfy all human tastes, preferences and energy! The people there are extremely earthy, humble and kind – a mentality too close to the senses of much of humanity. It is unique to Peru – Nature, mysticism and unparalleled world cultural and historical heritage!
Lima is the capital: of Peru located on the arid Pacific coast of the country. Although its colonial center is preserved, it is an overflowing metropolis and one of the largest cities in South America. The Larco Museum houses a collection of pre-Columbian art and the Museum of the Nation traces the history of the ancient civilizations of Peru. The Plaza de Armas and the 16th century cathedral are the core of the old center of Lima.
What mountaineer doesn’t dream of crossing the 6000 meter mark? The Nevado Chachani in southern Peru is the ideal mountain for this, as it is considered one of the lightest six-thousanders in the world. But you still don’t get your summit. It demands stamina, sure-footedness and, depending on the conditions, crampons are also used. Good acclimatization is also important. We get these from a scenic six-day tent trekking in the Cordillera Urubamba near Cusco. We enjoy the seclusion and fantastic views in the mountains. Of course, cultural points should not be missing on the program when traveling to a country like Peru. We visit the ancient Inca capital Cusco as well as the ancient salt mines of Maras and take a day trip to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Machu Picchu. The final is in Arequipa with its beautiful colonial old town. Always in sight: our big goal, the Nevado Chachani, 6076 m, which we will climb in two days with a high camp at approx. 5000 meters. The trip ends in the capital Lima.
The highlights:
- Tent trekking and easy high-altitude tour, 14 days
- Lima and the Inca capital Cusco
- Ancient cultural landscape in the Urubamba Valley
- The ancient salt terraces of Maras
- Trekking in the lake-rich Cordillera Urubamba
- A full day in the “lost city” Machu Picchu
- Arequipa: Colonial town made of white tuff
- One of the lightest six-thousanders
- Summit possibility, u. a .:
- Volcano Chachani, 6076 m
Chachani Volcano: The Chachani is a volcano located 55 km from the city of Arequipa, in southern Peru. Despite its considerable height, snow is very scarce at its summit, due to the extreme atmospheric dryness prevailing in the western slope of the Andes of that region.

If you have any other questions please contact us. For calls or inquiries to this number: +51 943 081 066
Can I join a group?
We as a local company and connoisseurs of tours have departures on different dates. The best thing to do is to join a travel group to take care of your budget, and of course you can join our groups, but on trips like mountaineering we recommend going in small groups. To join a group, ask us for the dates and we will send you the necessary information to be able to join any of our trips.
Why go in a private trip: For trips whether trekking or high mountains, going privately is the most recommended option, but the costs are more expensive. So, if one joins a group, the prices will be more reasonable. In the mountains, the only disadvantage is if you are in a wall with another partner and if one of the participants gets tired or gets sick. In this case, you have to abort or cancel the summit and return together. For more information, contact us. We can schedule a call via WhatsApp to clarify all your questions.
In a mountain, for example, if 3 people go and one of the participants falls ill on the route, for security reasons they have to cancel or abort the summit or return all together. The same in a technical mountain if the climbing partner gets sick they all have to return, for these reasons sometimes it is better to go private only because for a single person the costs are more expensive for the same reason that the trip would already be private .
