Description

Patagonia is famous with visitors from around the world. A natural paradise, the area is as vast as it is gorgeous**.** One aspect of Patagonia that is especially wondrous are the incredible ice fields. That is why I am very happy to offer this incredible 13-day expedition that will take you throughout the enormous northern Patagonian ice field in Chile.

Throughout this trip, you will get to trek through the still relatively unexplored region of Aysen. Within this area, you will get to see forests, rivers, lakes and, of course, lots and lots of glacial ice. The area is an absolute wonder, and I have no doubt you’ll have the time of your life exploring it.

Our trip will begin in Coyhaique. From there, we will venture to Puerto Guadal, where we will take a boat ride on the Lake Leones. We will also trek through the beautiful landscape until we reach our base camp. From the base camp, we will begin exploring the incredible plateau. You will even get to ascend the wonderful and relatively easy to climb Cerro Cristal as well. As the trip concludes, we will return to Puerto Guadal, where you can enjoy a delicious Patagonian barbecue before returning to Coyhaique and then Santiago.

Participants on this trip should be good physical condition, as we will be doing a lot of trekking.

Exploring the Patagonian ice field in northern Chile is an experience you will never forget. To enjoy it for yourself, for 13 incredible days, please send a request.

About the guide

Adolfo

For more than 20 years I have worked as a guide in Chile. Join me and I´ll be able to show you the wonderful spots that the Andes offer to those who share my passion for big mountains.

I live in Santiago de Chile, the Chilean capital, where there are many options for high altitude ascents, even over 6,000 meters, in close proximity to the city. I also regularly organize trips to the Chilean Altiplano, where there are many mountains over 6000 meters. However, the main attraction of these trips is to witness the intensity and loneliness of the Atacama Desert.

I would love to have the opportunity to share these magical moments with you and help you achieve your goals and dreams.

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!

Maxine

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.
