Eloy Salazar Obregon

I was born and raised in the small village of Yarush on the outskirts of the city of Huaraz at the foot of the Cordillera Blanca.

I studied at the House of Guides Center for High Mountain studies – Huaraz. I have great knowledge in high mountain sports, having started these activities at a young age, following the family tradition of working in this field since the 70´s.

I'm also a student at the Santiago Antunez de Mayolo University of Sciences (Applied Mathematics).

Together with Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, I participated as a Siula Grande glacier specialist in the 2003 documentary “Touching the Void” which was shot in the Cordillera Huayhuash.

I graduated as Mountain Guide (IFMGA - UIAGM) in 2005, and since then I have had the opportunity to guide in different South American countries such as Argentina, Ecuador and Chile.
