Trip Details

The Tocllaraju expedition takes you to one of the biggest and most spectacular mountains in the Cordillera Blanca. The mountain stands an incredible 6,034m high. However, Tocllaraju is unique as it’s one of the few mountains in the world where you can reach heights of over 6,000m. All that is required is a good level of fitness and the mental resilience to climb mountains. If you are yet to experience high altitude climbing, the Tocllaraju expedition is for you! The trailhead is located in the small village of Pashpa. After a steady 5-6-hour hike, you will arrive at the base camp. This is located at the head of the beautiful Ischinca Valley. The first climb for the Tollaraju expedition is Urus Este. You will ascend the east ridge to its 5,495m summit. This is a tough, rocky uphill climb. However, it is a short climb and a great peak for acclimatization. Urus Este’s summit gives you spectacular views of Tocllaraju. The latter dominates the whole landscape. Although, there are many other beautiful snow-covered mountains scattered around the Cordillera Blanca. Following your climb of Urus, Ishinca (5,530m) is your next mountain. This is the perfect preparation for Tocllaraju. It is a longer climb and has a higher summit than Urus. You do not want to burn out! Therefore, a rest-day follows Urus and Ishinca. This is a welcome pause before ascending to Tocllaraju’s high camp. Rest days at the base camp are included in all our itineraries. They are crucial to successfully reaching the summit of Tocllaraju.  Base camps don’t get much better than Tocllarajus. The area has a beautiful creek, mountains in every direction, and one of the clearest starlit skies you’ll ever see. Every year we put together numerous set and customized expeditions to Tocllaraju.
