Its proximity to the adventure capital of Peru makes it one of the most easily accessible peaks in the Cordillera Blanca. It is also one of the few mountains in the range suitable for first time mountaineers (along with Mount Urus - 5495m, Ishinca - 5530m, and Pisco - 5752m), presenting a steep, but non-technical ascent. And it is an excellent training and acclimatisation peak for mountaineers wishing to move on to higher mountains. Surrounded by many impressive 6000m+ peaks, including Mount Ranrapalca (6162m), Pucaranra (6156m) and Palcaraju (6274m), Mount Vallunaraju offers splendid views from its summit.         DAY 1 Drive to Llaca Base Camp (4000m).
