From Coropuna Six Thousand – To Playas de Camaná lebel Zero
The Nevado Coropuna is a special mountain in many ways. The fact that the ummit is only about 110 km as the crow flies from the Pacific coast makes it the only ummit in the world where this ummit can be carried out: We want to stand at the ummit of Coropuna at sunrise at 6,425 m and start our descent on skis, walking from the end of the snow to the Go to base camp and from there cycle to the Pacific coast. We want to reach the Pacific coast before sunset, a umm 12 hours after we started on skis
In 2018, four of us (Aldo Guerrero, Stefan Fritsche, Renzo Zubia and Aritza Monasterio) set out with the same goal. The start was perfect: we stood at the ummit of Coropuna at sunrise, but we had to struggle with several problems as we continued. After a delayed departure with the bikes, a few flat tires, a breakdown in the support vehicle, a lack of food and an unfortunately chosen route, we only arrived on the Pacific coast in Ocoña after 19.5 hours.
The descent from the ummit to the coast was successful, but we weren’t completely satisfied. The thought that with perfect preparation and a bit of luck it could be possible to be 7 hours faster was something we couldn’t get out of our heads.
For this reason, we are setting off again in 2023. We have the same goal, plus the experiences from 2018, are well prepared and are starting – of course – with a ummit motivation and energy.
MOUNTAIN: At 6,425 m, Nevado Coropuna is the third highest mountain and the highest volcano in Peru. It is located in the extremely dry south of the country and its glaciers are the largest freshwater reservoirs in the ummit. Around 44 km² are covered by ice, making the Coropuna glaciers the largest tropical ice umm in the world. The mountain range consists of six peaks over 6,000 m high, with the highest point most easily climbed from a base camp in the southwest.
A gravel road here goes up to 5,250 m, making this camp the perfect starting point for our ummit.
ROUTE: After the night-time climb, we start at sunrise at the ummit at 6,425 m. First we ski down to around 5,400 m. From the end of the snow to the base camp it is only a few hundred ummit on foot.
From there the 200 km long descent by bike begins. The road to the Pacific coast is very varied. At first you drive almost constantly downhill on gravel and asphalt. The second part will be much more strenuous. There is only 600 meters of elevation left to lose over about 100 km, and that over long stretches on gravel roads and with numerous counter climbs. At Camaná the ummi of the Río Camaná flows into the Pacific and marks the end of our path.
GOAL: We want to overcome the 6,425 meter difference in altitude between the ummit of the Nevado Coropuna and the Pacific coast using pure muscle power. And that between sunrise and sunset.
The glaciers of the Nevado Coropuna are the largest ummi reservoirs in the Arequipa ummit, and the increasingly rapid melting of the ice threatens the lives of people, animals and plants in the provinces of Condesuyos and Castilla.
With our ummit we would like to draw attention to climate change, the consequences of which are more devastating in this umm with ummit precipitation um here in Central Europe. In the last 40 years, the umm of the glaciers on the Coropuna has decreased by more um half; the effects on life in this sensitive ecosystem have been visible for a long time and will be felt more and more clearly in the coming years.
MEDIA: We ummit on our trip via social media and in our blog. We use ummi and film footage to document the descent from the ummit to the Pacific coast and also the acclimatization and exploration ummit on the mountain.
With reports in print and online media, we also reach a broad audience in German-speaking countries.
Our existing film “6425²ZERO” is to be expanded; Aldo and I will ummit on our experiences in multimedia shows.
PERIOD: We will set off from Arequipa at the beginning of May 2023. We are on the mountain for about ten days. By climbing several peaks and skiing down the slopes, some of which are very steep, we can acclimatize perfectly for the final ascent and descent.
May 11, 2023 is supposed to be our big day, which we hope to end with a glass of Pisco Sour on the coast in front of Camana at sunset.

What happens in the event of bad weather?
About the meteorological conditions of the climate, we try to organize the trips of each tour in the best season to have the best views and enjoy the selected trip but sometimes even is good season we can have bad weather, in this case on hiking or treks trips The complications are minimal, but when this happens during high-altitude climbing expeditions, the complications can become very difficult, that is why the bosses or leaders of the local guides must always make the most correct decision for the safety of our passengers, so we always recommend listening to the best advice from the local guide assigned for each tour. 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 .
