Padreyoc

The Padreyoc peak reaches an elevation of 5,771 meters above sea level in the Cusco Region, between the Apurimac and Vilcanota watersheds.

The Japanese Doishisha University Alpine Club completed the first recorded ascent of Padreyoc, known locally as Quishuar, on July 16, 1965.

The mountain stands near ancient Inca territories where royal descendants established their last stronghold after the Spanish conquest of Cusco.

Mountaineers access the peak through Urubamba, establishing a base camp at 4,800 meters for acclimatization before attempting the technical climb.

The summit remained untouched for over five decades after its initial ascents in the 1960s until new expeditions began in 2021.
