Mt. Alpamayo

Rising to an impressive 19,511 feet (5,947 meters), Mt. Alpamayo stands in the heart of Peru’s Cordillera Blanca mountain range, within the boundaries of Huascaran National Park. Its pyramid-shaped north face, often cited for its striking beauty, is a highlight for trekkers and mountaineers. The multi-day Alpamayo Trek offers visitors panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and the chance to witness the mountain’s dramatic, snow-capped summit up close. The trek winds through varied landscapes, providing a continuous backdrop of rugged, ice-clad mountains and alpine meadows.
