Private Climbs in Peru with
Maximo Henostroza

Trip Overview

Mountain Experience can arrange a private climb or trek with an experienced UIAGM local mountain in Peru. Maximo Henostroza, a Mountain Experience guide, is available to lead your private program in Peru. We can assist you with all your trip requirements here in the United State, and you can meet up with Maximo in Huaraz, and begin your private program there.

In addition to leading many of our "organized and advertised" climbs and treks, we also "exclusively book" clients from the United States with our Peruvian partner, Maximo Henostroza. We can easily arrange private climbs and treks with him in Peru, and tailor your program to fit your needs, goals and desires. These programs allow participants to experience Peru with a smaller party and with a local guide. Please allow at least 2-4 months to make these arrangements with Maximo. As an option, these same programs can be arranged to be led by a western guide and Maximo, if your group prefers

Programs will vary in terms of objectives, and include Huascaran, Alpamayo, Pisco, and many other mountain and overland treks from easy to the more difficult.

Our private climbers and trekkers will meet in Lima, Peru, and then travel via private transport to the small town of Huaraz, at the base of the Cordillera Blanca, one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world. Climbers and trekkers will spend some time in Huaraz acclimating on local hikes and reviewing basic high altitude breathing and walking techniques, which will help the group with their upcoming goals. Gear checks and a trip orientation will be covered during our evenings and free time in town.

Our private programs will close in Huaraz, with a Peruvian celebration dinner and farewell to all of our new found friends and climbing partners! Participants will leave the next day for Lima and that night for flights homeward bound.

Background Requirements

Fitness: Most of the climb days in Peru typically require around 4-10 hours of effort, but some days can be as long as 14-16 hours at high altitude on our summit attempts. Because of this, we recommend all participants be in a rigorous physical training program for several months prior to trip departure. Check our Training Overview for more information and training tips.

Experience: Participants should have completed a basic mountaineering course and have experience using crampons and ice axe, or have equivalent experience. High altitude experience is not required, but is beneficial.

Finance Notes: Please note that there are no refunds made on our private programs (see our reservation information for additional details).
