"Left Huaraz at 4am and arrived at the base of Nevadi Matteo shortly after sunrise. Hiked for an hour and a half to the base of the glacier. There we took a break and geared up. Another 45min brought us to the peak where we had great views of Huascaran Sur (Peru's highest mountain), Chopicallqui, and others. After a while we headed down, took off our crampons, and back to the car. Then the long 2-3 hour drive back to Huaraz. Beautiful scenery the whole trip." — PabloBruneau • Sep 19, 2018

"Got a clear morning after 4 days of rain at Salkantay trek, unfortunately didn't last, around 9 clouds started to group again and at 10 whole Huayna Picchu was hidden. When we got to the top, there were no views. On the way down it started raining a lot. Bad day for visit...

"Went with Waiki tours. We were driven to the 5000m mark, then walked for 45mins with our packs to camp. Yes, I say walk rather than hike because it was pretty much flat. We then had all afternoon to rest, aclimatize, and eat. Went to bed at 5pm, but didn't succeed in sleeping. Got up at 1am, a quick bite to eat and drink, and we were off. The weather was perfect without any wind and a mostly full moon. Reached the peak after a tiring 4hrs and 15mins, just before sunrise. Spectacular sunrise and views all around. Came down to camp in 1 hour. Rested for a few hours, packed up, and went to await our ride back to Arequipa." — PabloBruneau • Aug 30, 2018

"Did this hike with Waiki tours. Reasonable prices and good service. We made it to the crater where we could see the smoke rising from the crater. Didn't go to the cross at the peak because one of the guys was dead and coudn't continue. Amazing view the whole way up and down. Difficult, but awesome." — PabloBruneau • Aug 19, 2018

"our first hike above 4000m. We didn't have snow equipement so the plan was to reach the snow line, then turn back, eventually we made it only to the first laguna.
