It is one of the amazing ice-capped peaks of the famous Cordillera Blanca. The total altitude of the Nevado Mateo is 5150 meters and its ascent is considered technically easy. This trip can perfectly work as your first climbing experience since you won’t need any technical skill. However keep in mind that, like in any mountaineering ascent, the climb implies some risks which should not be taken lightly. That is why it is always mandatory, especially for beginners, to do it with a certified mountain guide. I can therefore guarantee that you will enjoy this experience safely.11 hours to 12 hours

Don´t worry, we have a gear list you can request in advance and the market nearby has a lot of affordable outdoor gear if you are missing something. We can also provide pants and jacket if needed. We do not recommend that you drink alcohol the night before and rest as early as possible.
3:00am-3:30am--We will pick you up at your hotel in Huaraz. We pick up from south to north so your pickup time will depend on where your hotel is located.
