Expedition team very attentive. The food was varied and very good! The guides very helpful and patient.
Very nice experience and unforgettable, no risks as we went with a Pro Guide and with 20 years of experience in adventures of this type, very good, we achieved it in less than 2 hours, thanks
Incredible service, cordial and super attentive all the time. I ⁇ the trip to Mateo, an unforgettable experience that I will keep forever. It is a relatively heavy ride and I do not recommend doing the day after Laguna 69 (I do not regret, but I was definitely tired kkkk). Definitely needs prior acclimatization. 5000m is not a joke and you can go wrong to underestimate yourself. Give it a few days before you climb the Nevado. The Scheler Hostel is also super cool and is in an excellent area of Huaraz for being quieter and quieter, with no noise at night.
Very good experience from the first contact, very attentive, offer many options for support and help, the Guide (Yosep Guillen) very Pro, attentive, cordial with a lot of patience, supports a lot along the way and gives a lot of encouragement to keep giving everything for everything, I highly recommend SCHELER ARTIZON TREK Best of the Best
I made three tours through the agency: Mateo Nevado, Laguna 69 and trekking by the white mountain for 4 days. Although I was well prepared, it was very exhausting, but it was worth every penny and every meter traveled. The price of the Service is very fair due to the quality of the Service and the extreme complexity of the logistics involved, especially in the trekking by the white mountain range (the most beautiful place I have visited). The guides are all friendly, attentive and very helpful. I did the three walks in a row. It was extremely heavy, especially the Mateo Nevado, as I was very tired from the day before, but the guide helped me a lot in both the climb and the descent. The white mountain range, although little visited compared to other tours, is by far the most beautiful place I have been in the world. An unforgettable experience. Lagoon 69 is famous. Magical place. I still intend to return to do the complete trekking along the white mountain. I want to leave my special thanks recorded to the entire Scheler team. They are professionals and deserve every success in the world. I hope to see them one day.
We took the Glaciar Pastoruri, Laguna 69 and Pico Mateo tours with the Scheler Arizon agency. We passed through incredible and breathtaking scenery. The agency has a great infrastructure (we went through some troubles when we opted for another agency) and, above all, excellent guides to support us during the tours. We saw the quality of the guides when we climbed Pico Mateo and Laguna 69. I definitely recommend Scheler Arizon's services.
Very good experience, before going I took a pill for soroche and I was constantly agitated, the guide was waiting for me to accomplish the objective. I recommend that you acclimatize for a day or two so that you can climb the snowy mountain.
The landscapes are incredible, an experience with nature, snowy mountains and lagoons, it is a little far but it is worth it.
I definitely recommend the agency for its excellent Service and for its specialized guides. Climbing the snowy Matthew was one of the most rewarding experiences of my entire life. I enjoyed the whole tour and cried with excitement as I watched a majestic view of all the snowfalls that our beautiful country has. The snowy Mateo should not miss your adventure tourism itinerary when you come to Huaraz.
To celebrate my onomastics I took my tour at Scheler Artizon Trek agency and it was the best decision!! The service is very good and personalized. Scheler and his team are very attentive and helpful I recommend the ascent to Snowy Matthew, they provide you with all the equipment, also Scheler provides recommendations a day before the climb. During the climb to the Nevado the guide was very professional and patient as he was watching that I am well. Thank you very much Scheler and all his team. I will be back soon to climb the highest peak 😊
