A 10-day program in three of the highest peaks of the Central Andes. Discover El plomo, La Paloma and El Altar summits with certified mountain guides.
10 Days
Jan - Mar, Nov, Dec
I propose a 10-day program in the Central Andes for those who want to achieve climb skills and altitude experience. Even though, it’s a trip available for beginners and also experienced climbers.
We’ll climb three of the main peaks of the Central Andes: La Paloma with its 4910 meters, El Altar with 5180 meters and lastly El Plomo with a altitude around the 5424 meters.
First of all, we meet in Santiago de Chile where we spend a night in a hotel. The next days, we start climbing La Paloma and El Altar peaks. From the base we can appreciate beautiful landscapes with its glaciers and surrounding mountains.
After 4 climbing days, we return to Santiago for take a rest and prepare ourselves to our last objective, El plomo peak. From its top we will enjoy incredible views of other peaks such as the Aconcagua, Juncal or Tupungato. What is more, from there we’ll see an ancient Inca sanctuary.
Finally we descend to Base camp and return to Santiago where we’ll celebrate our summits climb. Next day we take flights back to home.
I really like bringing here my clients and even my friends because:
– Everybody can participate. From beginners to experienced climbers this program offers a great variety of routes easy/moderate.
– Its a great opportunity to gain or improve your climbing techniques.
– You will discover one of the mos beautiful places in the world, with amazing landscapes.

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.
