The Nevado Ishinca (5530mts) is located in the Chinchey massif in the Cordillera Blanca. At the end of the ravine that bears its name, Ishinca rises between the majestic mountains of Ranrapalca and Palcaraju. Despite its colossal neighbors, it does not skimp on beauty and challenge.
This snowy peak stands out as a classic option to acclimatize or begin more difficult mountain activities, allowing you to reach significant heights in a short time through relatively simple routes. Unlike its neighbor Urus (5450m), Ishinca offers an extensive and beautiful route along a glacier with few crevasses and penitents.
From its summit, an impressive view of the snow-capped mountains of Tocllaraju, Palcaraju and Ranrapalca unfolds. This ascent sets the stage for greater challenges, marking a significant milestone in the exploration of the majestic Cordillera Blanca.
