Climb Mateo near Huaraz on a private 5,000-meter summit day with gear, transport, guide, and sunrise views included.

Review of the 12-hour Nevado Mateo climb from Huaraz, with glacier gear, guide support, summit views, costs, tips, and practical advice.
“The hike was incredible but it was quite tough too. The views were absolutely incredible and we got some great weather with clear blue skies. Our guide spoke English which was great as was easy to understand him and we got to talk during the hike and learn more about other hikes he's done and was super open to talking about them. He was also very helpful when certain sections got a little tricky and would show a path to follow and on occasion even rope you up and pull you if needed for a small section”
Climb Mateo from Huaraz in one demanding day with a guide, technical gear, breakfast, and wide Cordillera Blanca views.
“Probably the best hike I’ve ever done! I lucked out with a private tour. My guide, Freddy, was fantastic and very experienced. Mateo is definitely not easy, and you need to be in both good physical shape and properly acclimatized. The first portion is climbing on rocks, and then you start the ice climbing. I personally found the rock climbing to be challenging on its own, while the ice climbing was particularly hard because of the altitude. Remember to breathe slowly and deeply. Go to Mateo!”

“WARNING: Only book if you’re fluent in Spanish and are a very experienced hiker. You may be left stranded. While the tour coordinator assured the guide was bilingual Spanish English, not he nor any of the porters spoke a single WORD of English. I didn’t find this out until it was too late and we were en route for the trip. Even after, the coordinator kept lying with various excuses pretending and insisting he did actually speak English(!!!) If you have any potential health issues, serious altitude considerations or concerns in general and have limited Spanish like I did, be aware, you won’t be able to communicate anything for 4…”
Trek to Peru’s Laguna 69 from Huaraz with park entry, transport, mountain views, and practical advice on altitude, timing, and value.
“We went on your guided tour to lake69 a couple of weeks ago. We have a bunch of complaints, because of our bad experience with both the guide, the bus, the prices ext. We went on a bus with a lot of other people, that we spoke to on the trip. We paid 150 soles per person for the trip, and the rest of the bus paid 50 soles per person? How does this make any sense? We feel that we have tricked by you into buying this trip at a much higher price than everyone else on the exact same trip… paying 3 times as much as everyone else?…”

Review of the Laguna 69 trek from Huaraz, with timing, costs, transport, hiking demands, group size, and practical booking advice.
“It was a great tour and a really good day. Thank you very much. The two disappointments are, that we planed (like written in the contract) with an end at the same place where we were collected. So we have had a longer way home with two tired kids. Further on called the contract a maximum of 20 people but there were 28 what means a litten bit less comftorbility. The tour was really good, but a lot of tourists expect what is written in the contract. Muchas gracias!”

Subimos hasta 5,100 mts de altura sobre el nivel del mar sin problemas con el apoyo de Scheler y su equipo. Las paradas que hace el tour son inolvidables como es una laguna de agua hirviendo pero estando fría, el lago siete colores cuya pureza permite ver el fondo al con distintos colores conforme a la profundidad, las pinturas rupestres, y obviamente el glaciar, en donde hay caballos y personas que te ayudan a cargar a los niños pequeños…”
