Climbing Vallunaraju 5686m

Best time: May to september
Timing: 2 or 3 days Climbing
Grade: Moderate

Before to attempt Vallunaraju we suggest that you should trek 4 days minimum for a good acclimatisation and fitness.

Vallunaraju is a 5686m mountain near the city of Huaraz. Getting to the top usually requires three days, average physical conditions, basic climbing knowledge and some aclimatisation.

Despite of being an easy to climb mountain, Vallunaraju offers some beautiful views of the biggest mountains in the Cordillera Blanca.

It features a double-headed summit and is a great acclimatisation-climb. It is one of the easier 5000m peaks, which is why even some expeditions offer this as a destination. A big benefit is the close location to Huaraz: There is no time wasted on apporach just for the acclimatisation.
