hi there,

I don't know how experienced you guys are but the department of Cusco is not ideal for inexperienced climbers just to make you aware of this.

Also, if you wish to climb in Cusco, you will need to plan in advance, especially if you are coming here in the summer, as it is the peak season.

Overall, I think that the city of Arequipa is a main base for climbing in Peru for both inexperienced and experienced climbers.

For instance, the majestic volcano Misti is a great mountain for inexperienced climbers and it can be climbed year round.

If you have climbing experience, Chachani is a great place with an elevation of about 19,900 feet.

hope this helps
