Description

This fantastic itinerary across the Atacama highlands, all the way up to the summit of the Licancabur volcano, is a must for all mountaineers. Over these 10 days, I will guide you across unique landscapes along the broad area between Chile and Bolivia. A true South-American tour!

Some of the highlights of this program are the beautiful Chilean village of Copiapó, the Laguna Verde area in the Bolivian Potosí, and the ascent to the Licancabur Summit.

This Andean program includes four days designed for a better acclimatization around Laguna Verde. Some of the special acclimatization tours are the ascent to, or tour around, Laguna Verde (4,350 m), and the ascent of Mt Mulas Muertas (5,910 m / 19,390 ft).

The ascent to the Licancabur Summit (5,960 m / 19,553 ft) is particularly special. This volcano is located towering above Laguna Verde in the Southwest Bolivian Altiplano. The crate at its summit is considered one of the highest lakes in the world. Its altitude and impressive character make it a memorable climb.

Take a look at the detailed itinerary for this Andean program below.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
