Description

Would you like to enjoy a multi-day adventure in the Andes? Then join me on a thrilling 12-day program to 3 stunning Chilean summits: El Plomo, Marmolejo and San José. 

At 5,434 m, El Plomo is the largest peak that you can see from Santiago. Marmolejo, at 6,108 m, is higher, but further south, and will be the second peak we climb on this adventure. Just 9km away is our third summit, the  San José volcano, which boasts an altitude of 5,856 m. On this adventure, we will get to explore each of these beautiful mountains in Chile.

Each peak will take us approximately 3 days to climb.  It will be a big challenge that will put our skills to test. Tackling these three Andean giants will require you to have some mountaineering experience and a good fitness level. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you on the way and we will have some extra days scheduled into the program in case we face any delays. You can find a detailed outline of the itinerary below.

So, are you ready for an unforgettable adventure in the Chilean Andes? Then book your place now and start planning your mountaineering trip to the top of El Plomo, Marmolejo and San Jose!

You can also join me on this amazing 12-day expedition to the summit of Ojos del Salado!

Aspirant Guide

I am an aspirant IFMGA mountain guide, with extensive experience in Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Perú and Ecuador.

I live in Cajón del Maipo, Chile, where climbing opportunities are almost endless!

I do a lot of guiding in South America´s High Mountain, especially on technical routes. I also do rock climbing courses in different parts of Chile and in my city.

During my tours, I try to generate the best experience for my clients, and like to teach them about the cultural and environmental importance of the places we visit.

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.
