Peru 2025

The 7 Summits Club S Guide Boris Egorov reports from Peru:

 Greetings from Peru! Our "Intipalka" team split into two parts. Two members finally climbed the Chachani volcano! Hooray! We managed to reach the top of the volcano and climbed to a height of 6,057 meters. We were promised a strong wind, but the mountain was calm and we admired the views from the summit. At this time, the second half of the team admired the condors in the unique Colca Canyon. Basically, everyone got what they wanted. And everyone was happy!

The 7 Summits Club  Guide Boris Egorov sends from Peru:

Greetings from Peru to everyone! Today the Intipalka team finished their trek around Mount Ausangate. On the final day of trekking we walked 17 km, climbed to the 5100m pass, met a vinicunca and local chinchillas. And the reward was the hot springs at the very end of the route, right in front of the bus. We are rushing to Cusco to celebrate the successful completion of the trek!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov sends from Peru:

Greetings from Peru! Today we spent the whole day walking. We walked 12 km, climbed to a pass at a height of 5200 m. There we held a ceremony of gratitude to the mountains, offered coca leaves to the spirits. The trek is very beautiful! Snowy peaks and herds of alpacas in the pastures below them. Now we are resting and tomorrow we leave for the final day of trekking.

 The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Peru:

 Greetings from Peru! Today our "Intipalka" team started the day by visiting a brand new wonder of the world. We admired the Rainbow Mountains, having climbed on quad bikes to the top of Mount Vinicunca 5036m. In 2010, the glacier that hid this beauty disappeared and now it is the second most popular place here after Machu Picchu.

And then we warmed up a bit on foot. And reached our first camp, located at an altitude of 4600 meters. This is how our trekking around Mount Ausangate began.

Herds of alpacas, lakes and glaciers around!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov sends from Peru:

 Greetings from Peru! The day before, our team split into two parts. Half spent the night in the star lodge - it's lower, but with hot baths. And I, with two participants, met the sunset in capsules at the very top of the sky lodge. Having woken up in the morning at a dizzying height, and in incredible comfort, we had a delicious breakfast and quickly went down the ziplines. Having reunited, our "Intipalka" team continued to explore the history of ancient civilizations. We visited several ancient cities, admired the terraces and marveled at the industriousness of the Incas. Now we are already on the train on the way to the famous pearl, the abandoned city of Machu Picchu.

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov reports from Peru:

 Hello from Peru! Today we have an incredible adventure, we spend the night in a unique vertical hotel, lost somewhere on the canyon wall, 350 meters above the ground. To get here, we climbed for more than an hour along a via ferrata. The wind whistles around us and the starry sky above us. This is an incredible place where you can feel a little bit like climbers on vertical walls!

The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Boris Egorov reports from Peru:

 Greetings from Peru! Today the whole team finally gathered in the capital of the Inca Empire, the city of Cusco. And our mystical adventure began. Yesterday, half of the team walked around the city, and today the whole team visited an ancient laboratory for growing plants, salt mines and a giant pyramid. We heard stories about the incredible Incas and tasted the famous Peruvian cuisine: service, alpaca steaks and other delicacies. In the meantime, we came up with a name, now we are Intipalka. Tomorrow, one of the most unusual and extreme hotels in the world awaits us!

The 7 Summits Club President Alexander Abramov reports from Peru:

The ascent of Chachani was a success! Yesterday our Alpacas team climbed to the top of the Chachani volcano, 6070m high. 11 participants reached the highest point. Three participants did not reach the top, but were satisfied. For most of them, it was their first six-thousander in their lives.

The condition of the route and the weather could have been better. We climbed through wet snow, which lay in a 10 cm layer on the ice, on the descent it began to snow, turning into rain.

But we did it. Hooray!

Hello from Peru to everyone from the Alpacas team! Yesterday we left our cozy city of Cusco and flew to Arequipa, where our adventures continue!
This morning we visited the main local attraction - the Santa Catalina Monastery. This monastery, founded in 1579 and located in the city center, is one of the best examples of colonial architecture in Arequipa. It is built from white ash mined from the Chachani volcano and pink ash mined from the Misti volcano.
Then we walked around the center of Arequipa and had lunch in a cozy restaurant overlooking the main square of the city. It is very cozy, very tasty and very colorful here! We never tire of admiring this hospitable country!
And after lunch we went to the base camp of the Chachani volcano, located at an altitude of 4900. Now we will have dinner and discuss the plan for the assault. At night we go to the mountain. Tomorrow is the key day of our trip! Wish us luck, amigos!

While the Alpacas team was walking past the "seven lakes" to the hot springs, Sveta Kotlyar went to climb Maria Peak with local guides. We decided to establish for ourselves the seasonality of ascents to this peak, which is included in our programs in Peru.

We left the camp at 4600 at 3.00 in the morning and reached the pass at 5200 in 4 hours. The whole morning there were simply gorgeous views and a cloudless sky! On the way, we met three vicunas descending the slope.

At the pass, we dropped off unnecessary things and began to climb the ridge. Already in the first hour of the ascent, it became clear that in this wet season there is a lot of snow on the mountain. We had to trek knee-deep, and in some places waist-deep, which increased the planned time for the ascent by an hour. We were at the top at 11:20, Alex Abramov turned on “Coco jambo” on the radio, we danced a victory dance at the top and ran down.

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Peru:

With the approach of the new month, March, the group, which was called “Februaryists”, decided to change its name. Now we are “Alpacas”. Today our team spent the night in a gorgeous place surrounded by snowy mountains. It was raining. But that didn’t stop us. The tents are new and hold up well to the rain. The food is good. We have Starlink Mini Internet with us. Everyone is happy. We passed the 5100 Pass. We bathed in hot springs. And now we are already in Cusco celebrating the halfway point of the expedition. Tomorrow we fly south to the city of Arequipa. And from there is an exit to storm the Chachani volcano, 6200 meters high.

The adventures of the 7 Summits Club "Februaryists" team in Peru continue! This morning we left the camp at 4600 and climbed the Palomani Pass 5200. The weather was sunny throughout the first half of the day, and the surrounding nature was full of magnificent views. After lunch, we were slightly hit by hail, and we arrived at our camp in the rain. But nature has no bad weather!

Everyone is in a great mood. By the way, yesterday we started a tradition - now in the evening at dinner each of us shares impressions of the past day, it brings us very close. This is a pioneer camp for adults!

 Hola amigos! The "Februaryists" team spent another wonderful and adventurous day in Peru! Today we went to the Rainbow Mountains, which are located 100 km from Cusco. The weather was quite cloudy, it was drizzling, but this did not stop us from riding quad bikes with the wind in our hair.

We reached 4900, from there we walked to the top of Mount Vinicunca (5036 m). For two members of our large team, this is the first summit!

During the ascent, the clouds dispersed, and we saw the Rainbow Mountains in all their glory!

After that, we headed towards our camp at the Ausangate volcano lagoon at an altitude of 4600. The views around are simply space, impressing even the most inveterate travelers: the huge white Ausangate glacier, bright green hills and red mountains - an incredibly bright picture!

In the camp we have almost all the benefits of civilization, including starlink, so we will be in touch with you.

The "Februaryists" team visited Machu Picchu - the pearl of Peru, the ancient city of the mystical Inca civilization! In the morning we woke up in a hotel in the town of Aguas Calientes on the banks of the Urubamba River and then went to the entrance to Machu Picchu.

Everyone was delighted! The scale of the city is impressive. It is not surprising that this is the most visited Peruvian attraction, one of the "new wonders of the world"! The return trip to Cusco by train was fun - with the songs and dances of the Peruvians.

This is where the excursion part of our p rogram ends and tomorrow we are going on a trek to the Rainbow Mountains! Guides: Alex Abramov and Sveta Kotlyar.

Hello to everyone from Peru from the 7 Summits Club "Februaryists" team! Yesterday the excursion part of our program began. In the morning we left Cusco towards the sacred valley of the Incas and first stopped by a family-run cooperative of hospitable locals, where we were treated to mint tea and shown the process of making thread from alpaca wool.

 Then we visited Chinchero - an archaeological site, an Inca fortress and the fortress of Ollantaytambo. We had lunch in Rio Sagrado - a very cozy restaurant on the river bank, surrounded by greenery. And in the evening, we took the train to Aguas Calientes, a cozy town at the foot of the most famous landmark of Peru - Machu Picchu, which awaits us tomorrow!

Hola amigos! Hello everyone from Peru! Yesterday our large group "Februaryists" gathered in Cusco - the ancient capital of the great Inca Empire! The city is located at an altitude of 3400 m and the weather here is very comfortable and a little cool. Our hotel is located in the historical center of Cusco and after we checked in, we managed to walk a little along the stone streets of the center - it is very atmospheric and very colorful here!

Part of the group managed to see the ancient temple complex of Sacsayhuaman, and then we stopped at a llama and alpaca farm to cuddle and feed these cutest creatures.

In the evening there was a welcome dinner, where we congratulated our men on "February 23rd Day", celebrated the past birthday of one of the participants - Anatoly and raised glasses for our upcoming adventures in Peru!

The 7 Summits Club President Alexander Abramov reports from Peru:

 The 7 Summits Club team, which called itself "Februaryists," gathered in the ancient Peruvian city of Cusco. Today we climbed a via ferrata to our overnight stop, the most unique hotel "Sky Lodge." Imagine, the rooms there are nailed to the rock with nails. On the way to the canyon where this hotel is located, we stopped by to visit the alpacas and llamas. All the participants, and even the guides, were delighted with the first day of adventure.

This is Peru, baby! That's why we also tasted an amazing animal called cuy. Ours, guinea pig. The meat is the most tender!

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Peru:

 Our team is starting to gather in Peru. The program includes Cusco, Arequipa, Rainbow Mountains and Machu Picchu. With ascents to peaks higher than five and six thousand meters.
