Caro Victor è con grande piacere che ti scriviamo queste poche righe per ringraziare te ed i tuoi validissimi collaboratori per il trekking che ci hai permesso di fare nel Giugno del 2009 (Cordillera Huayhuash e Cordillera Blanca). Pur avendo visto diverse zone dell'hymalaya indiano e nepalese e delle Ande boliviane,cilene ed argentine, siamo rimasti profondamente colpiti dalla straordinaria bellezza delle Ande Peruviane. Raccomandiamo a chiunque volesse visitare queste splendide zone di montagna di appoggiarsi senza riserva alla Agenzia Peru Mountain Explorers E.I.R.L. di Victor Sanchez Caldua.
Ricordando la tua assoluta professionalità come guida, le grandi doti di chef del cuoco Marcellino e ultimo ma non da meno la versatilità e disponibilità dell'aiuto cuoco Luis, ti mandiamo tutti un calorosissimo saluto con la speranza un giorno di poterci rivedere lassù dove volano i condor.......

During research for my trip to the Cordillera Blanca, I was fortunate to come across Peru Mountain Explorers. Therefore, I had the opportunity to climb Vallunaraju with Victor and his Peru Mountain Explorers team from the 15th to the 17th August 2009. From preparations via email for the trip to meeting Victor and his wife in Huaraz before climb departure I was given fantastic support and service as they ensured preparations for departure were right, Victor even lending me his ‘lucky’ jacket. Being my first climb, the experience was impeccable, from logistics to camp food and the high quality equipment. Victors knowledge, skill and passion for climbing and the mountains ensured my experience was quality and the trip a success. I highly recommend Peru Mountain Explorers and I know I look forward to tackling more of what the Cordillera Blanca has to offer with Victor and his team in the near future.
Please feel free to contact me for further recommendations on Peru Mountain Explorers.

I had the opportunity to use the services of Peru Mountain Explorers from July 15-22, 2009 in my climbs of Ishinca and Tocllaraju in the Cordillera Blanca. My experience with Victor Sanchez Caldua was truly outstanding, from the time I first contacted him by e-mail, to the 2 AM wake up calls to prepare for our climbs to the summits, to our goodbyes when he and his family took me from his house to the bus station in Huaraz to begin my journey back to the U.S. Not only is Victor an outstanding guide with excellent technical climbing skills, but he truly cares about his clients’ enjoyment of the mountains and the entire experience. He is highly organized, flexible, enthusiastic, and has great support staff—and the equipment we used was top-notch. The meals prepared in the mess tent by our cook, Frael, were delicious and nutritious, and better than any I ate in the cities. I was privileged to be ‘adopted’ into Victor’s family for a few days in Huaraz, attending the birthday dinner of his 4-year old daughter, Estefani. His entire family is incredibly gracious and hospitable. I have many fond memories of my time in Peru, owing to the remarkably personable and professional approach used by Victor and his staff of Peru Mountain Explorers.

"I did the 6 day Huayhuash trek with Peru Mountain Explorers. Victor was very professional and helpful throughout the trek. Marcellino provided excellent meals every day, and each dinner was different and delicious. They offer excellent advice on how to trek in high altitudes, the tents provided are also excellent. Highly recommended for any trek or climb around Huaraz.

I would highly recommend Peru Mountain Explorers for your expeditions in the Cordillera Blanca. I climbed Alpamayo in August 2008 well guided by the certified mountain guide Wilder Javier and his team of porter, cook and donkey driver. Excellent food throughout the expedition and all smooth logistics (from airport pick-up to purchasing of airline tickets) made my expedition a truly enjoyable experience. All provided climbing gear was in good condition and plans could be adjusted to current weather conditions in a very flexible way. Happy climbing!

“I have been climbing internationally for the last 8 years and have always used guides for safety and to enhance the experience of the trip. I look for guides that have knowledge of the local area and the climb as well as organizational skills. Victor and his team guided me up Alpamayo and Huascaran in August of 2008. They are the best guide service I have used to date any where in the world. Very well planned, top notch equipment, great food, very friendly staff and they took the time to explain every part of the trip and the climbs. They were also flexible as we changed the program a few times once it was started. I definitely felt like I was part of Victor’s family during the trip. In fact, we got to meet his family and ate with them several times. This is one of those |
|
experiences that really defines trips and allows me to be part of a country’s culture. If you get to meet Victor’s wife ask her to make you guinea pig for dinner. Very good. I would highly recommend anyone looking to climb in Peru that they use Peru Mountain Explorers.”

I would highly recommend Victor Sanchez and Peru Mountain Explorers as a guide and support service for both mountain climbing and trekking in and around the Cordillera Blanca in July 2007. My buddy and I hired him to organize our two week climbing trip to climb Pisco and Chopicalqui. He organized every detail of our trip including airport pickup, transfers, lodging, acclimation, and climbing support. His on-mountain services were excellent and the team gear he provides was of the highest quality. I can't say enough about the excellent food his team provided – three huge meals a day and several snacks in between. |
|
I don't think you will find a better deal for high quality support services at a reasonable price. We will hire Victor again the next time we climb in the Blanca. Feel free to send me an e-mail if you want a more detailed referral. Monte Edwards at cmm@hotmail.com

I enjoyed a fantastic trekking in Huayhuash in July 2006, with 4 of my friends.
I contacted Victor, the president of Peru Mountain Explores, as a friend of mine climed a mountain with him last year and strongly recommended him.
We had only 6 days for the trekking and we wondered if it is too short to enjoy Huayhuash, however, he arranged the fantastic tour for us in 6 days.
His arrangements were perfect. The route was filled with dynamic scenery of mountains, lakes and local cultures. The guide could speak English very well and the cook studied special dishes for Japanese.
As we wanted an economy & reasonable prices, firstly we asked Victor to estimate each itemized cost, such as;
guide ---/per day
cook ---/per day
donkey driver ---/day
donkey ---/day
and so on.
As the result, we used 1 less number of donkeys than the estimation, and he finally reduced the cost for it.
|
|
We asked him a lot of things, and he surely responded all of our wishes.
Victor is a really faithful and trustful man.
If you ever dreamed about mountaineering in Peru, please contact Victor, and he will help to make your dream come true.

My experience with Peru Mountain Explorers was fantastic! My friend
Debbie and I did the 4 day Santa Cruz trek in the Cordillera Blanca with
our guide, Edgar, and our cook, Edgar. After being picked up at the bus
station and brought to our hostel, we left for the hike. The scenery was
amazing, and the food was even better! Our guide showed us Alpamayo, the
most beautiful mountain in the world. We walked through farmlands,
highlands, grasslands, lowlands...the terrain was so diverse! Turquoise
lakes, waterfalls, snowcapped mountains...all of it was so beautiful. It
was nice to have a dnkey driver to carry the heavy things, such as the
food and tents. It made it much easier for us to do the walk. Our guide
was very nice and always seemed to have our best-interest and safety in
mind, which was very comforting. He also spoke English very well ,which
was helpful. It was a great experience, and would pay for it again if I
could!
My friend Debbie and I did the 4 day Santa Cruz trek with Peru Mountain
Explorers and had the privilege of having Edgar cook for us during the
trip. I am not exaggerating when I say that the pancakes he made in the
mornings were the best I have had on my entire 4 month trip through South
America. He also made a fantastic Lomo Saltado, good desserts, and a
perfect spaghetti bolognese.
|
|
Plus, he kindly woke us up every morning
with a cup of hot mate! Great service!
if you need cook service don't forget to contac directly with Edgar Sanchez Caldua.

Empfehlung
Für Victor Sánchez Caldúa
Wir waren vom 19.07. 2005 bis 26.07.2005 mit Victors Unterstützung im Ishincatal und haben die Berge Urus (5 420m), Ishinca (5 530m), Tocllaraju (6 032m) erfolgreich bestiegen.
Victor und seine Crew haben uns optimal versorgt und unterstützt. Sie waren sehr freundlich und aufmerksam und wir haben sehr schnell ein hohes Maß an Vertrauen zu ihnen gewonnen. Victor spricht gut englisch, wir konnten aber auch unsere Spanischkenntnisse einsetzen und verbessern. Im Basislager war er ein sehr angenehmer Gesprächspartner. So dass wir über das Bergsteigen hinaus noch jede Menge über Land und Leute und die peruanische Kultur erfahren haben.
Unvergesslicher krönender Abschluß der Tour war eine Pachamanca (peruanischer Erdofen / Grillfest) anlässlich Victors Geburtstag zu der wir auch eingeladen wurden.
Zelt und Seile haben wir nicht selbst mitgebracht. Wir bekamen ein neues Mountain Hardware Zelt welches sich auch im Hochlager hervorragend bewährt hat. Das Küchenzelt war sehr grosszügig bemessen. Die Speisen welche Victor I (der Koch) uns zubereitet hat waren sehr schmackhaft und gut auf die Bedürfnisse von Bergsteigern abgestimmt. Die Tage welche wir mit Victor und seinen Leuten verbracht haben werden uns noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben. |
|
Wir wollen bald wieder nach Peru kommen um weitere Berge mit Victor und seinen Leuten in Angriff zu nehmen.
Falls weitere Informationen oder Auskünfte gewünscht werden stehen wir gerne zur Verfügung.

Me, my wife and her sister went on a four day trek with Victor in early November. It was more than we expected and a great time was had by all. The service and food was excellent and the cook ( another Victor Vargas) made the best soups yet! I highly recommend the trek and Victors merry men. I will return to Huaraz and cant wait to get back into the |
|
mountains with Victor Sanchez. - Please feel free to email me for any further recommendations - Adam Ross
