Ski Peru
Overview
Ski Peru
Introduction
Plans for Peru were hatched at the end of a ski trip to Bolivia in 2018. We liked the idea of doing a similar ski mountaineering expedition in another South American country and Peru was the obvious choice. John Biggar in his guidebook to the Andes writes 'Some of the wildest and least explored ranges in the Andes lie in southern Peru in the area around and south of Cuzco'. This is where we are going - the Cordillera Vilcanota.
Start point: Cusco
Grade: 10D (Please contact us to discuss your skiing ability with Guide, Jim Blyth)
The Team
The group will consist of six to eight skiers along with mountain guide and South American expert John Biggar and Jim Blyth.
Share this on Facebook We can organise this expedition on a ‘tailor-made’ private basis for groups of friends, families, clubs, charities or any other group. Depending on your skiing experience, you may want a Jagged Globe leader or go ‘self-led’ with the assistance of local guides. The cost of going private can be surprisingly reasonable, particularly if you take the self-led option. Please contact us to discuss the itinerary and your preferred dates. We will then send you a quote, with no obligation.
