Unforgettable - 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.

Excellent agency in Huaraz - 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.

Good Experience - San Mateo - 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.

Fantastic Climb - Probably the best hike I’ve ever done! I lucked out with a private tour. My guide, Freddy, was fantastic and very experienced. Mateo is definitely not easy, and you need to be in both good physical shape and properly acclimatized. The first portion is climbing on rocks, and then you start the ice climbing. I personally found the rock climbing to be challenging on its own, while the ice climbing was particularly hard because of the altitude. Remember to breathe slowly and deeply. Go to Mateo!

Unforgettable experience - First to start with is communication which is professional and very informative via WhatsApp.We had to postpone our climbing experience by one day due to health issues which has been fully accepted. During equipment tests we were given first instructions regarding how to dress and eat before climb. Our guide Esteban was helpful and very experienced climber, gave us a lot of attention and hints in order to make it to the summit back and forth within 4h20min. Overall it is once in a lifetime experience for someone who never had any climbing experience so far. Safety is one of the key words of Scheler Artizon Trek which for myself played a huge role once selecting the best tour company in Huaraz.
