Scheler Artizon 101% recommended

It is very difficult to express in so few words how wonderful, exciting, and challenging this expedition was. 1. Scheler's pre-sale attention and advice were always punctual and clear, explaining every detail and clearing up doubts. 2. The price of the expedition is very appropriate considering all the logistics and supplies required (car transportation, guides, cooks, food, muleteers, and mules). 3. The company's hotel is excellent and affordably priced for arriving 2 or 3 days before the expedition and for coming to rest after it. 4. The guides, cooks, and muleteers were excellent and attentive. 5. The food was very good, balanced, and varied. When I have the opportunity to return to Peru, I would undoubtedly hire the services of Scheler Artizon Trek for their commitment, responsibility, safety, and honesty. David T (Mexico)

Review of Santa Cruz Trek 4D/3N

We did the Santa Cruz trek in Huascarán National Park. It was a journey of 4 days and 3 nights. We saw more than 10 snow-capped peaks and about 6 lagoons. This trek has a moderate difficulty, with Punta Unión at 4,750 meters above sea level being the highest and most difficult point - also the most beautiful. Before choosing which trek to do among so many options in the Cordillera Blanca, Cordillera Huayuash, among others, Scheler advised us very well based on our preferences (a trip for two people, with limited time and a desire to have views of mountains, snow-capped peaks, lagoons, and pampas). Ruth accompanied us on the trek. She was our guide and also the most special person on the journey. Ruth has great knowledge of the route and everything observed along it: plants, animals, snow-capped peaks, lagoons, and the ancestral beliefs of the local communities, among others. Ruth took care of us at every moment, allowed us to enjoy, walk calmly, and ensured that it was one of the best experiences of our lives. Ruth is an absolute gem with a huge heart. Don Vicente, the muleteer who accompanied us, is also a spectacular person. For 4 consecutive days, he made sure we had everything necessary to be comfortable... we never lacked anything. The Santa Cruz trek is an extremely special experience... you will arrive tired but with a happy heart. Scheler is the best option to design your trip.

BAD SERVICE!!

I have never been treated so disrespectfully by a waiter before. Service was beyond slow, and the food was bad. I have been he before, but will not go back. DON'T GO

Operator response

Mr. Navigator577099, I don't understand why you're commenting on a service we don't provide. It would be helpful if you could find the profile or company that provided the service so you can comment on the correct profile. We haven't been providing service to Santa Cruz since September due to the low season. We also appreciate you not confusing our clients with comments that aren't ours. Regards.

Trekking Santa Cruz X Llanganuco Cordillera Blanca Peru

The views were amazing! Start with the bus transfer from Huaraz to Vaqueria where we start the walk. The spectacular landscape of Huascaran from the viewpoint and also of others snowed in the sense of Laguna 69 will give us the beginning of a day. Every day had a charm of its own, from the cascatas vegetation, snowfalls and lagoons. Especially the 2nd day where you pass through Punta Union at 4750m and have a beautiful view of the mountains, snowed around. The 3rd day also with the approach of the base camp of Alpaymo is very beautiful and with changes of landscape as you walkva 3n direction Taullipampa. The 4th day is day to enjoy the walk along the river with clear waters and everything around. Importantly, the Scheller Trekking service gave us comfort and convenience to ensure that we could enjoy all the trekking and nature in a full way. Specialized guide, dedicated, cook who provided us with a hearty diet in all snacks in the day. In addition, the transport of equipment by mules must be highlighted, allowing us to remain lighter. I highly recommend Santa Cruz trekking with Scheller who always paid special attention to the preparation and doubts we had.

Unique and impressive experience through our white mountain range

Doing the Santa Cruz Trek with Scheler Trekking Expeditions was a unique and impressive experience in my life. The tour organization was excellent: friendly guide (Heissen), good food (thanks to Valentin) and impeccable logistical support from the organization. I recommend this trek to any hiking lover who seeks a deep connection with nature in our beautiful white mountain range, and even the Huayhuash trek that greatly exceeded my expectations. Sergio Carrión.

The best agency in Huaraz

Scheler owner of the agency served me very well from the first contact. Arriving in Huaraz he was already waiting for me and my friends at the bus station to welcome us. He gave us all the support we needed while we were around. We closed all the tours with his agency. Paron lagoon Churup lagoon Laguna 69 Trekking Santa Cruz (3 nights and 4 days) Nevado Mateo The Scheler has experienced and very attentive guides. It’s not that easy to do altitude trekking, so if you want a guide who is patient and respects your time, Scheler will introduce you to the best. Besides very solitary are very dear. At Trekking Santa Cruz all meals were prepared by our guide and Chef Francisco with the help of the guide Nick and Vicente. At dinner we served the entrance, the main dish and dessert. No exaggerations, it was all a delight! In the morning they delivered us a snack to take on the trail and brought our lunch ready. The camping equipment was of excellent quality, which contributed greatly to the cold nights of the White Cordillera. For those who do Trekking Santa Cruz earn a night in the Scheler hostel, which by the way is a great accommodation. Super clean, comfortable beds, well organized and with a delicious breakfast. The Scheler Artizon Trek exceeded all our expectations! Thank you to the Scheler Artizon Trek team for all your attention, support and affection! You guys are amazing! Thank you for everything my friends!

Family holidays at the foot of the mountain

So we ventured to spend our family vacation at the foot of the mountains. Santa Cruz Trek offers 4 days of beautiful scenery, surrounded by mountains, snowfall, rivers of crystal clear waters and beautiful lagoons, however you have to be prepared for changes in climate as it can rain or snow. It has been the first camping experience in the mountains for my children and they enjoyed it very much. It is the second time we visited Ancash and there is still much to go and enjoy. If you plan a family holiday (including children), you like nature and adventure this is an excellent route. I recommend taking the services of Scheler Artizon Trek. Scheler is very professional as well as all his team, they made our stay in the mountains very comfortable.

See you again soon:)

Let’s say it was an initiation experience into this multi-day hiking thing and I was speechless about the landscapes and places you discover in the middle of nowhere in the white range. The staff was very professional at all times, always attentive to what you may need. We had the opportunity to do the route with Scheler Torres, a certified guide of extensive experience and a new friend to count on for future hikes and expeditions. The route is excellent and friendly. I would like to do it again when the weather is better and make the most of the star show and the views during the day. I'll be back soon. See you in Huayhuash. Thanks for everything! A plus: Scheler has his own accommodation, Artesonraju Hostel. Appropriate and with all amenities for the nights before and after the hikes.
