- We climbed Nevado Mateo (Pico Mateo) in Huascarán National Park. Nevado Mateo's peak sits at 16,896 feet (5,510 m). This climb is 3 miles roundtrip (4.8 km) with a 1,575 feet (480 m) elevation gain, and is located among the stunning mountain peaks of Cordillera Blanca, the world's highest tropical mountain range in the world.
The best time of year to climb #NevadoMateo is between April to November. You must hire a professional mountain guide to #climb this peak in Peru. You will see amazing views of Mount Huascarán, the tallest peak in Peru that stands at over 22,000 feet.
We paid around $60 USD per person in September 2022 for the climbing adventure. We left #Huaraz #Peru at 3:30 am and arrived at the trailhead around 5:00 am. It took us 3 hours round trip to complete the climb.

Drop any comments if you have questions about the hike or what you thought about to 🥾This climb was a perfect half day trip in Huaraz. The views from the summit of Nevado Mateo were stunning. It looked straight onto the tallest peak in Peru!
I love how you include the logistics of getting from Lima to Huaraz to the trailhead! Makes the content much easier to follow!
Glad to hear it made it easy to follow! We hope it was helpful. Try to help make planning easier for those that are thinking about making the trip ☺️
This is such an epic adventure!! Congrats on summiting!! Beautiful views 🤩
We had a great time! Though it wasn’t a planned climb, we are glad we did it. We almost bailed since we were so tired. Such epic views! We can’t wait to go back and explore Peru. Have you been?
W❤️W! Stunning! Cheers for more incredible and breathtaking adventures!🥂❤️✨
Thanks! We loved Peru so much. We have two more coming out in this series. Hope your adventures are going well too ✈️
That was a really good video!! I enjoyed the travel! Peru is amazing!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching ☺️
Tim “I walked right down it!” Such incredible views you two get to see and so cool that you share it with us. Can’t wait to see what adventures you go on next 🙂
🤣 Tim sure makes everything look so easy. It’s not fair. Thanks for coming along on our adventure with us! Appreciate your support -❤️Helen
Looks incredible! I'll have to add this one to the list!
You would definitely appreciate it because it’s off the beaten path. Most people that go seem to be local Peruvians 🤙🏽 A lot of the videos we searched were vlogs in Spanish. Thanks for watching!
I'm not a huge mountain climber, but this actually looks like something I'd like to do whenever I go to Peru. Love the video!
This climb was surprisingly enjoyable haha! Mainly because it was only 3 miles. We aren’t huge mountain climbers either, but enjoy it once in awhile. If you have questions, let us know. Happy to help share plans and logistics. It was a good dip your toes in kinda climb. Up next we will share our trek to Machu Picchu 🙌🏼
Awesome!!!👍
Thanks, Phil! I hope you have some fun adventures planned
Looks incredible!
It was a fun adventure! Thanks for watching ☺️
Gorgeous photography and excellent describing...
Thanks, Mary for watching. Glad you enjoyed it! Excited for you to be part of our adventure. We leave for full time travel in a week!
@@HelenandTimTravel I can't wait to be a part of your fan group watching your wonderful adventures and living vicariously through you both!
We appreciate your support! Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Obsessed with your Peru travel videos!! I wanna go there right nOW! So nice footage
Thank you! We are so glad you like the Peru series. Have you been before or are you currently looking to plan a trip there? Let us know if you have any questions 🏔️
@@HelenandTimTravel I have never been or thought of it but im really inspired from you now! Im moving to iceland (!!) this summer so maybe a trip to Peru next year
Iceland sounds amazing! We rented a camper van about 5 years ago and drove around the ring road. So excited for you! Where are you moving from? Happy to share tips if you need help planning. You can email hello@helenandtimtravel.com or DM us on IG @helenandtimtravel
@@HelenandTimTravel Thanks! Im moving there from sweden :)) I subscribed to your channel n looking forward to your next adventure!
We hope your move goes well! We are excited to have you along for our journey 🏔️🌎
Too much altitude for my tired old lungs, but what a nice hike/climb. Thanks for posting.🙂
Definitely knocked the wind out of us. We spent a couple days at over 15,000ft altitude before this, so we felt alright 😅 Happy new year!!
The view from the top was special. I'm looking forward to a summer high in the mountains after I retire to get ready to perform such a hike.
It was an epic view! We are excited for your next chapter. When do you retire? Would be great to meet up on the road 🏔️🥾
@@HelenandTimTravel no date yet, but 66 1/2, so April 24. Sisters are talking about a family meetup in Norway 2024.
That sounds lovely! Coming up soon. The year will fly by. We hope to make it to Norway this year, but we have so much to fit in. Maybe we will have good intel, and also I’m sure it’s a place we would visit multiple times
Interesting that it seems like the hike up wasn't as difficult as the trip back down. 😅
A couple hours long hike sounds a bit more my speed from the usual.
Hopefully you got some good sleep after you got back!
You’re spot on! Hiking downhill is always tougher for us because we both have knee issues. It did seem harder downhill this time around because the guide had to put some rope up on the steep and slick rocky sections. We like short and sweet adventures too!
We were very sleep deprived after 2 straight days of trekking right before.
When did you guys film this?
We climbed during mid Sept 2022 🤙🏽🏔️
You guys dont jeed fancy goretex gear. 1 local was doing this peak in jeans, another in velvet sweatpants
It was a bit rainy and snowy the day we started so we are glad we had it. We travel full-time so limited on footwear we can carry 😉 Thanks for your concern
Great movie, but Huaraz is pronounced more like What -us =).
Thanks for watching and for the correction on how to pronounce. Heard it so many different ways when we were there 😆
NO CERTIFIED GUIDES NEEDED IN PERU. WHERE IS THE LAW STATING THIS REQUIREMENT
For this specific hike it was stated at the trailhead to have a certified mountain guide. We booked through a guide for this hike and never would’ve discovered it on our own. We love supporting the local economy and jobs too! 😬
