Adventure
We trust in adventure. We love the mountains for the way that they remind us to be humble, diligent and gracious. How they teach us to live better. How they stay with us forever.

We are committed to protecting the environment and know that establishing a relationship with the natural world is the key to both the planet's health as well as our own.

We take your choice to contract our services very seriously and we intend to be the best guide service you have ever met. We believe that we continue to raise the bar by our example.
WHO we are & WHY we will do it better...
What can we tell you about ourselves?
We are climbers, travelers, hikers, mountain bikers, outdoor educators, entrepreneurs, artists, learners, parents, dog & VW lovers! Our team is made up of an international group of dedicated outdoor professionals who are passionate to help people enjoy and flourish in the wilderness, and this has helped us become the thriving company we are today, committed to maintaining the highest standards and consistently offering the very best adventure experiences in the area. We take your vacation very seriously and we look forward to opening the doors of this part of the world to you.
We have the home-field advantage:
We live in Huaraz. The Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash are our backyard. By focusing 100% of our energy on adventures in this area, we have simply become very good at it! In addition, we don't just sell our trips; we go out there and guide them. We are a small and personable company, often answering the telephone to provide information and then lacing up our own boots and sharing the mountain experience with our guests. For almost 20 years we have helped people experience the magic of Peru, Huaraz, and the Andes Mountains.
People Power
Who are you trusting your vacation to? Time to meet some of the people who can’t wait to show you an amazing adventure in Perú…
Jenn Hrinkevich
Owner, Program Director:
Jenn discovered climbing during her teens and was drawn to the vertical immediately. With a B.A. in Outdoor Recreation and Education, Jenn began her professional career with Outward Bound filling many positions and ultimately developing & directing their mountaineering program in Patagonia. She first came to Peru in the year 2000 and joined forces with Skyline Adventures, then just a toddler company, climbed many of the commercial peaks in the Cordillera Blanca, and through a lot of hard work and on-the-ground experience became a force to recon with (and a standard to live up to) in the adventure tourism world. In 2009 she relocated to Huaraz permanently and continued to set the bar high for quality services in the Cordillera Blanca. These days she spends her time mentoring and managing new program staff and always quality controlling our expeditions, from both within Perú and remotely. You will no doubt exchange emails and phone calls with her as you are putting together your trip and she will be the fairy godmother making sure that your experience in the mountains is flawlessly executed.
Gladys Jimenez
Operations Manager, Trekking Guide:
Gladys was born and raised in Yungay, in the shadow of Huascarán, Peru’s highest mountain. She later moved to Huaraz to study Tourism and has been a professional trekking guide for more than 15 years. She has explored and climbed throughout Peru, particularly in the Cordillera Blanca, the Huayhuash range, and the mountains around Cusco. She speaks Spanish, English, and Quechua. Beyond guiding, Gladys loves travelling, especially when it involves discovering new places and cultures. She is a passionate mountaineer, trail runner, and birdwatcher, with a keen interest in biology and Andean plant life. She is currently developing an orchid project and an independent documentary film project. Curious, adventurous, and outgoing, Gladys enjoys connecting with people and sharing her passion for the mountains and the natural world. If you don’t have her on the trail with you during your trip, you’ll certainly meet her in your orientation and see her flashing around the perimeter, making sure that everything and everyone on your expedition is ready for adventure.
Aden Ray
Logistics, Client Communications:
Aden was born and raised in Colorado, skiing from a young age while developing an early appreciation for the outdoors. However, it was a NOLS course in Baja, Mexico, in 2022 that sparked his passion for exploring wild areas. Inspired by this experience, Aden began instructing youth outdoor education in Colorado and Wyoming, leading activities like mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, and backpacking. Aden graduated with Honors from the University of Kansas, receiving a B.A. in Environmental Studies. During his senior year, he also managed the university’s outdoor rec. program, running student programs while further developing his leadership and outdoor skills. Aden also loves using art, specifically water color to see the mountains in a new way! First arriving in Peru in 2025 and immediately falling in love with Huaraz, Aden is passionate about creating meaningful, memorable experiences in the mountains!
Micher Quito
Mountain Guide, Instructor:
One of the most impassioned climbers in the Huaraz area we know… if he is not working in the mountains he is almost definitely out there playing, developing a new rock site or looking for a new adventure on an unclimbed peak. Micher began bouldering & rock climbing at 15 years old and at 16 took a weekend trip to Alpamayo with some friends (FYI most people take 5+ days to climb this peak) and hasn’t really stopped since then. From 2006-2010 he participated in the UIAGM guides course in Huaraz and upon graduation began working with Skyline as one of our most talented and professional high altitude alpine guides. Besides his adventures all over the Sierra of Peru, he has climbed in Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Columbia, Austria and Germany. You’ll definitely see him in the guidebooks for numerous first ascents and with luck you’ll see his name on your trip roster as one of your expedition’s guides!
Alessandro Fracchetti
Mountain Guide, Instructor:
Alessandro began guiding in the Cordillera Blanca in 2016, making the big transition from a climbing lifestyle in the Alpes to a climbing lifestyle in the Andes!
Originally from Italy, his formative adventure years were in the Alpes and Himalaya, where at 22 years he decided that the mountains would be a part of his life both professionally and personally. At 30 he began his UIAGM guides course in Peru and the Cordillera Blanca became his new work & playground ever since.
He speaks Italian, Spanish and English fluently and has worked an impressive variety of trips with Skyline over the years, including motivating local middle-schoolers to the summit of a glaciated peak, instructing alpine skills courses, trekking with university programs and our more traditional guiding of big, burly mountains.
Carlos Pineda
Mountain Guide, Instructor:
Carlos can trace his love for the mountains back to when he was a 7 year old boy who knew that the great adventures to be had outside were part of his destiny. In his university years, he learned quickly from experienced climbers who had much to teach in all modalities of the alpine world, and found a passion for seeking out and opening new routes. Having been included in the big-list of Piolets d’Or, a prestigious recognition for alpinists, he decided to pursue his guides certification from the UIAGM and make his climbing “career” official. Carlos has climbed and guided in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Tanzania, Peru, USA & Venezuela. He holds many certificates from the Guides Association of Venezuela including rock, high-mountain, & WFR, his IRATA level 1 and is one exam away from his UIAGM alpine guide certification. He’s full of adventure stories – which means he is full of adventure – and never has a group come back from a trip with Carlos under-impressed with their full experience in the mountains.
``Adventures is not in the guidebook and beauty is not on the map”
Good to the Earth
We believe we should tread lightly & leave no trace. We value the lessons that the natural world has to teach us. We want you to fall under the spell of the mountains and then do the work to protect and preserve them once you are back home.
Good to our Community
We believe in the power of people. We build relationships and honor them, in times of abundance and in times of need. In community we are stronger, more resilient, more capable of achieving our goals.
Adventure & Flexibility
We are ready to have unique adventures with each one of our guests. While we have well-crafted programs and plans, we are always listening, looking, and adapting as the situation requires. We are here for you, now, this time, to make the most of your expedition.
Respectful of the Past
We might think we know the world inside and out. But Peru has a history so rich and knowledge so ancient, we'd be fools not to open ourselves up to a little perspective boost!
