Maximo Henostroza on AlpamayoMountain Experience Guide, Maximo HenostrozaMaximo Henostroza is one of our more experienced technical guides, and has been guiding in the mountains of Peru since the late 1970's. His ascents include most of Peru's challenging climbs, including many ascents of Huascaran, Alpamayo, Pisco, Huandoy, and a host of others. He is also one of our trekking guides, and has led many treks throughout the Cordillera Blanca and other ranges in the country. Machu Picchu is one of his favorite trekking destinations, and he is usually one of our guides on those adventures.

In 2001, Maximo was a guide on our Mt. Everest Expedition, which climbed the South Col route through Nepal. On May 23, 2001, Max became the second Peruvian to climb the 29,035' peak, and with that effort became a national hero.

One of Maximo's Huascaran climbers writes:

Maximo was great! He really instilled a lot of confidence in me, and is really a lot of fun to climb with!

Mark U.,

Maximo is a very friendly and approachable person, and quickly bonds to the members of each group. His kind and personable personality makes it easy to focus on climbing and be confident on the most challenging of ascents.
