MANUEL BERNUY PONTE

Certified mountain guide

Founder of Peruvian climbs, I am a professional mountain guide certified by IFMGA (international federation of mountain guide association) – AGMP (Peruvian mountain guide association). My passion for climbing and trekking in the cordillera Blanca and around South America have given me all the expertise needed to guarantee an unforgettable and safe journey.  I founded Peruvian Climbs in 2010, and have been guiding in the Peruvian Andes since 2005. The Andes are in my blood – I grew up in the Cordillera Blanca and have loved the mountains since I was a small child. Hiking and climbing in the Peruvian Andes is challenging but extremely rewarding. I aim to deliver the best experience for my clients – one that is bespoke and catered to their needs, rather than something which is generic. I always aim to understand what my clients are looking for, and then based on length of time and fitness; will develop a trip to suit their requirements, I am wilderness first aid trained. I have an experienced team that can offer tailor-made logistics making each trip completely seamless. I have also climbed and guided extensively in the Cordillera Blanca and Huayhuash (Peru), Ecuador and Bolivia.
