In June 2024, I took part in the MWR special trip "From the rainforest to the ice peaks
of the Cordillera Huayhuash" in June 2024. Even in the run-up to the trip, any questions I had about the itinerary and equipment were answered quickly and competently by the organizer "Meinewelt-Reisen", making it possible to prepare very well for the trip. I don't want to go into detail about all the wonderful experiences during the tour, there were too many . Roughly speaking, the trip was divided into 4 stages. First, we spent 6 days in the rainforest, where we always went down the river by boat on the edge of the strictly protected national park. Here we gained an insight into the diverse flora and fauna of the rainforest. Then we went to Cusco (including Machu Picchu), which was the cultural part of the trip (Incas, temples, churches, etc.). This was followed by the main part of the trip, the circumnavigation of the Cordillera Huayhuash. It is not for nothing that this trek is considered the most beautiful trek in Peru (if not in the whole of South America). At altitudes between 4,200 m and 5,050 m, we had fantastic views of snow- and ice-covered mountains and colorful lagoons, crossed a total of 7 passes and crawled into our sleeping bags in the evening, tired but satisfied. Finally, the ascent of the Nevado Pisco (5,752 m) in the Cordillera Blanca was on the agenda. Despite the less than ideal weather conditions, all the participants who had started reached the summit.
The local guides on site were friendly, open-minded and competent (Brain in the rainforest and Cusco, German-speaking city guide in Cusco, Ricardo and Franz during the trekking, the kitchen team around Jorge, the mountain guides on Nevado Pisco (one mountain guide per 2-person team)).
My special thanks go to our tour guide Alex, who was always there for us and managed everything to our satisfaction.
