We have been in Huraze for 6 days and Andean Summit arranged all our activities. The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the ascent of Mateo peak. The climb was exhilarating and challenging, but Andean Summit’s expert guidance made it achievable. They provided all the necessary climbing gear, which was in excellent condition, and our 3 guides' expertise were invaluable in navigating the icy slopes and ensuring we reached the summit safely. Standing atop Mateo peak, surrounded by panoramic views of the Andes, was a moment we’ll cherish forever.

When I arrived in Huaraz, I felt more excited than ever — the mountains and natural conditions here are just incredible! Compared to China, Europe, and the U.S., it's also much more cost-effective for climbing.
During my stay in Huaraz, Mila gave me incredibly thoughtful advice and even lent me some gear. I didn’t feel like just a customer — it felt more like we were long-lost friends meeting for the first time.
Through her, I also met many experienced climbers who come here year after year. I truly hope I can do the same and return every year too!
