Summary:

总体而言 运动攀岩

Lat / Long: -12.119904, -76.924585

总结

Las Viñas is one of the first climbing areas to be developed in Lima. Located within Parque Ecologico de la Molina, there are a variety of routes ranging from delicate slabs to powerful roofs.

描述

Upon entry to the park, climbers are asked to have their temperature measured, provide a form of identification, and carry a helmet. Parking is limited, so expect it to be full in the early mornings, especially on weekends. The recommended way to enjoy a day in Las Viñas is to arrive early and start the approach before the sun rises. This way you can climb in the shade until noon, then head down and enjoy some well deserved lunch.

准入问题

Access issue has been resolved and the Parque Ecológico de La Molina (Viñas) is now officially open to climbers as of September 23, 2022.

Access to climbers has been closed on November 2021.

前往

Start from the parking lot and head up the winding path, being mindful of passing cyclists and runners. You can follow this path until eventually reaching the mountain's left "arete" and continuing up from there. Your second option is to split rightwards from the path and follow a trail leading to a guard house/lookout point. From here, hike alongside the stonewall towards your intended sector. In total, each approach is about 1.5km in distance and 350m in elevation gain.

行为准则

Make sure to stick to the established trails and avoid creating new ones.

总结

Huayllay es una impresionante extensión de roca volcánica (entre volcánica y filoliana), encontraremos placas, extraplomos, techos, fisuras, chimeneas, torres y muchos bloques.

描述

El bosque de rocas es grande y confuso, es fácil perderse así que con cuidado. Las brújulas pueden verse afectadas por la carga magnética de la zona.

Dentro del bosque existen diferentes zonass diferenciadas por las cuales se puede pasear y boulderear. En algunas de estas existen rutas de escalada, pero no en todas. Los sectores de escalada suelen estar muy alejados entre si, incluso hay rutas equipadas que con el tiempo y la desinformacion han sido olvidadas.

住宿

Existen en Canchacucho dos restaurantes de carretera que ademas alquilan habitaciones. Se puede hablar con el Sr. Alcibiades Cristobal o con la Sra. Maruja Herrera, guía turística y presidenta de la Comunidad de Campesinos para pedir algún lugar de acampada, información de las rutas (pues ella posee algunos de los topos del lugar) o incluso un tour por las zonas de escalada más frecuentadas.

运动攀岩, 阿式攀登 和 其它类型

Lat / Long: -9.516756, -77.398838

描述

Huaraz, located 415 kms north of Peru's capital Lima, is an outdoor lover's paradise. There are dozens of hiking and mountain bike trails.

It is an alpine climbing mecca with thousands of people coming here each year to complete epic tours up the Andes.

There are plenty of alpine climbing stores and there are some sport climbing stores scattered amongst them. The town center is the best place to find these stores.

前往

There are night busses running from Lima everyday from most bus companies. The cost is between 70-135 PEN (sols) (26-46 USD). The three main bus companies are Cial: Chepest of the lot, however the 9 hour night ride is still very manageable. Movil Tours: Mid range Cruz Del Sur: Top of the line, however the 21:00-06:00 travel time brings very little advantage over Cial.

住宿

There are loads of hostels for all budgets. I can highly recommend Olaza. It is a mid range hostel costing 100 Sols per night per room. It is very very clean, well run, breakfast (with massive pot of coffe), hot water with great pressure located about 15min walk from the town center.

Summary:

总体而言 运动攀岩

Lat / Long: -9.320362, -77.582363

总结

Ruralised mini crag, 40min from Huaraz or 10min from Chanco. Tranquil setting with great views of the river. Popular with groups/guides from Huaraz.

描述

8 routes, marked 1-8 left to right. #1 now slightly overgrown... Increasingly hard as they move right. Shady from about 11am onwards in Summer

All climbs now have DBB anchors, though some are missing mallions and require you to rappel for descent.

前往

Clearly visible from road heading towards Chanco, 1km back from hot springs, on opposite side of road to river... Your guide will get you there... About 30-40min from Huaraz

Alternatively you can take public transport: take a colectivo towards caraz and get off at Marcara, then take a second colectivo (this one will likely be just an overfilled car) towards Chancos and ask to be let off at the climbing area. Crag is opposite los pinos recreation area and clearly visible from the road

住宿

Anywhere in Huaraz... I believe there are a few rooms and the Small community at the hot springs, but this is well out of the way. Stay anywhere in Huaraz and just grab a guide from a reputable company or take public transport if you have your own gear and partner

Summary:

所有 运动攀岩

Lat / Long: -10.096691, -77.353343

总结

One of the highest crags in the world (4290m.a.s.l) with a mystic rock forest formed by the erosion of time in a breathtaking setting.

描述

It is a mystic rock forest formed by the erosion of time and one of the most impressive geological attractions of the region. Hatun Machay – which in Quechua language means Big Cave - is a mere 1 1/2 hours from Huaraz, situated in the Cordillera Negra (Black Mountain Range) at an altitude of 4290 m.a.s.l.. This zone is home to an amazing stone forest of divers and interesting array of rock formations. The area is over 200 hectares in total and offers in its many sectors caves, ruins, and stone carvings and paintings dating back 10,000 years.

Today Hatun Machay is the largest Rock Climbing Centre in Peru. There is an extensive variety of all levels sport routes from absolute beginner to the truly hard core. Hatun Machay is also a boulders dream with enough problems to last a life time.

On top of climbing, Hatun also offers alternative activities such as mountain biking, trekking, archaeological and mystic tours and horse riding.

This is not all. Hatun Machay now has his own refuge sleeping up to 50 people. The Refuge offer beds, kitchen facilities, camping and bathrooms.

Hatun Machay is a sport climber’s paradise, with bolted routs ranging from level 4 up to 8a. There are also hundreds of bouldering routes within a 15 minute walk of the refuge, ranging from mild difficulty to near-impossible.

The most developed area to date is the northern sector, which faces the refuge, but whole areas are being added every month as we open up the amazing potential of Hatun Machay.

In the lower part of the valley we are currently opening up a new region with rock walls at up to 100m (300 feet). It’s a 30 minute walk from the refuge and offers a breathtaking view of the rock formations.

Hatun Machay now boats more than 250 sport routs in a radius of 1 Km or so. A detailed topographical map is available with routes, names, grades, heights and quality at climbs.

Hatun Machay is now considered the number one rock climbing destination in Peru.

Because of this and much more Hatun Machay is a place you can't miss.

准入问题

Access to the rock forest (for climbers or hikers) is 13 Sols per person (10 for Peruvians) as of 2023. If you stay there (camping or refuge) you only pay this fee once.

It is easy enough to organise a taxi in Huaraz to take you to Hatun Machay, around 120 soles one way. Once there, the administrator can book a taxi back for you.

A local company "Andean Kingdom" (http://www.andeankingdom.com/) organizes a daily bus trips to and from the crag from Huaraz costing 25 Sols (10 USD) for each way for each person.

There is a modern hut with full kitchen and hot water located a 5min walk from the crag for 30 Sols (12USD) per night. You need to bring your own food, however beer is available at the hut.

前往

The archaeological complex and rock formations of Hatun Machay are located near the community of Pampas Chico not far from the Laguna Conococha in Ancash, at an altitude of 4290 meters (14,000 feet).

Andean Kingdom offers private transport to Hatun Machay every day.

From Huaraz, Private Transport: The turn off for Hatun Machay is 69 km from Huaraz. Leave town on the main road towards Lima, passing through Recuay and Catac, until you reach km # 131. (This will be on your right hand side, approximately 35 – 40 minutes from Catac.) Turn right onto a small dirt road which switchbacks up the mountainside. After approximately 6km (4 miles) you will come to a road junction – turn left and follows the road up and over the hill and down into the valley. You won’t see the refuge until you are almost there, so have faith and don’t give up!

• From Huaraz there is no direct public transportation to the refuge. You can take a kombi / shared taxi to Catac; 3-5 soles, and from there hire a taxi to the Refuge of Hatun Machay 40 – 50 soles each way.

住宿

Hatun Machay now has his own refuge sleeping up to 50 people. The Refuge offer beds, kitchen facilities, camping and bathrooms. Camping by the hut is also an option.

行为准则

In agreement with the local community many areas of Hatun Machay have been declared “nature zones”. The aim is to preserve the ecological balance in the area whilst respecting the community’s land and cultural history.

历史

Since 2016 there have been ongoing issues at the site. Some climbers have been there since and had no issues with climbing, however the area was closed for a long time and many bolts were chopped. Up to date details are usually available at the Huaraz Climbing Guide Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/Huaraz-The-Climbing-Guide-616393071820103/?fref=ts

In 2019 access had stabilised with a local administrator currently working at the crag. Most of the chopped bolts have been replaced by now but the hut burnt down which made accommodation difficult. The hut was re-opened later.
