El Plomo invites us to travel back in time and enter an environment of respect, spirituality and connection with the ancestors of this land and its culture.A mountain of a great spiritual level due to its connection with the Incas and the discovery of a mummified child on its summit, make this mountain not only a goal to reach a high point or a beautiful summit, but also, it invites us to understand why the Incas chose this great Mountain to carry out their ceremony and later sacrifice of the 9 year old Inca child.The road to El Plomo Mountain is surrounded by incredible high altitude landscapes, rivers, mountains and glaciers that still remain throughout the year.

This is how we like to work and enjoy each activity

 

We work only with 4×4 cars equipped for the mountain (comfortable and with great capacity to travel mountain roads).

 

We work with groups that, in general, do not exceed six people per outing (which helps us to provide a more personalized service, in which a more familiar and concentrated atmosphere is generated).

 

Allmountain is certified by Sernatur (Certification of Tourist Guides; Certification in Adventure Tourism, sub-areas of: High Mountain, hiking, trekking, climbing) and is currently registered in the Registry of Tourism Service Providers of the same institution.

 

Our guides are people with experience in the field and have the required certifications to work in these activities (certifications that are also being updated), such as: Wilderness First Responder (WFR) Certification.

 

In each activity, we privilege the provision of a sustainable service: we use recyclable and organic products, we promote the principles of NDR (Leave No Trace), we promote local tourism, etc.

 

If you want to participate in a trekking or expedition and you do not have the technical equipment to do so, Allmountain includes them within each activity (if required). Example: tent, crampons, ice axe, helmet, etc.


We believe in a sustainable and sustainable tourism

 

In every trekking, Expedition, Mountain Tour or climbing outing, we bet on a:

 

Cultural Sustainability:

Souvenirs from local artisans: we visit cultural centers, museums, craft fairs in order to promote the consumption of products from local communities and that our customers interact with them to take a complete experience of the local community and their customs, food and others.

 

Ecological Sustainability:

We use soaps and natural cleaning products that do not contaminate the land, water of the places we visit.

We use glass containers and after each activity we separate and recycle the garbage produced during our outings.

We try to clean the places we visit or bring the garbage we find.

 

Energy Sustainability:

Solar battery chargers: we use solar battery chargers to charge our cell phones, cameras and other electronic items.
