These fantastic mountain ranges are situated in the northern part of Peru and are surrounded by Peruvian Andes mountain peaks that are 6000 m high above sea level, the highest being the peak of Huascaran. The landscape is challenging and the oxygen is thin, but this never dampened the spirit of adventurers. For many, taking a closer look at Cordillera Blanca is a dream come true. Did you know that Cordillera Blanca means The white mountain?
Churup lake (Laguna Churup) : Is one of the most beautiful and impressive lakes in Peru, with turquoise waters which attracts many travellers. This lake offers a good scope for acclimatisation hikes.
69 lake : This magnificent water body is amongst the most spectacular blue colour lakes situated in Huascaran national park, Peru. This lake can be viewed while approaching the valley of Llanganuco.
Nevado Pisco : Is popular amongst mountaineers as it helps them to work on their climbing skills. Pisco is located 60 km away from the city of Huaraz in Peru. While several different routes lead up to the summit of Nevado Pisco, the most preferred route is the Southwest ridge route.
Chopicalqui mountain : Is located in Huascaran national park, and is always considered to be one of the easiest mountains to climb under the 6000 m category in Peru. It is highly recommended that climbers try the Pisco first, just as a warm before attempting Chopicalqui summit. Be a part of this memorable journey, only with K1 Adventures.

Mt. Alpamayo (also known as Shutyaraju) is amongst the most beautiful mountains of Peru in South America, which is located on the northern ridge of Cordillera Blanca. Climbing this mountain can be challenging due to the layer of ice and the steep angle of ascent that could be 60 degrees or more. Often climbers return amidst the trek due to the frequent build up of clouds. Alpamayo saw its first climber in 1951 by J.Jongen, G.Kogan, R. Leininger and M.Lenoir.
