CLIMBING · CORDILLERA BLANCA
Nevado Mateo is located in the Ulta valley, toward the Punta Olímpica pass. This snow peak is suitable for people with little experience or as preparation before attempting to climb higher mountains; from its summit you can enjoy an impressive panoramic view.
Huaraz – Carhuaz – Ulta valley – Punta Olímpica (4,700 m) – Mateo summit (5,150 m) – Huaraz
Departure from Huaraz at 3:00 a.m. heading north along the Callejón de Huaylas to Carhuaz, from where we will continue through the Ulta valley to the Punta Olímpica pass, at an altitude of 4,700 m. From here we start walking along a rocky trail to the start of the glacier, where it will be necessary to put on the climbing gear. At the summit we will be rewarded with impressive panoramic views; after photos and a well-deserved rest, we will descend by the same route to the bus to return to Huaraz.
The proposed itinerary is subject to change due to weather conditions or force majeure that put the safety of our clients at risk.
We recommend doing higher-altitude hikes around the city of Huaraz before any trek and/or ascent. It is one of the most important factors for us and also for you.
