02 The Story

Born at the foot of the mountains

Born in the village of Llupa, in the heart of the Peruvian Andes, Fredy is a bilingual certified Mountain & Trekking Guide and a proud member of AGMP, UIAGM and IFMGA. From a young age he worked alongside his father in the mountains — as a porter and at times an assistant cook — and his father became the inspiration and mentor behind the dream of an adventure company sharing the beauty of the Andes with the world.

Today that dream is a reality: a fully registered company based in Huaraz, specializing in day tours, hikes, multi-day treks, climbing expeditions and mountaineering courses across Peru — built on responsibility, safety, perseverance, passion and respect for nature.
