Hi,
we're a 4 people party going to Peru this summer. we've already done a lot of research, and will probably spend some weeks on Huaraz and do some of the great peaks. I cannot find much information on how much a guide will set us back though - anyone know more about daily fees or how much they charge for the following mountains?
- Alpmayo
- Artesonraju
- Huascaran
we've decided to go with one guide, alpine-style, with as few porters (hopefully none), and would therefore only need 1 guide to help us with route-finding etc. what does this normally cost? is there a daily fee like in the Alps or do they have one fixed price for the whole number of days we spend on each mountain? is there a common consensus between the guides in the area, or do they all charge whatever they want?
I reckon there is probably best to wait until we get there to find one, and since we'll probably chose our next mountain depending on how we feel on the first and second one. in any case we won't fix a schedule before going. maybe only the first mountain.
Alex.
