Located in the Torres del Paine National Park, the Central Tower of Paine offer one of the best climbing spots of all Patagonia. It has 2800 meters of altitude and once on the top it offers incredible views of other peaks.
I propose a 18-day program in which we’ll live an exciting and challenging climb in a beautiful but hard technical route.
– DAY 1: Meeting in Punta Arenas airport. We spend the night in a hotel.
– DAY 2: This day, we drive to Torres del Paine National Park. Then, we set up the camp near Laguna Amarga.
– DAY 3 – 8: Firstly we hike to Camp 1. Horses will carry our gear. Afterwards, we move to Camp 2 while we’ll appreciate incredible landscapes. Lastly, we set up the camp in Camp 3.
– DAY 9 – 13: These days are dedicated for our summit attempts. We’ll ascend it and rappelling down to Camp 3 where lastly, we’ll rest at the end of each day.
– DAY 14 – 16: We descend from Camp 3 to Laguna Amarga.
– DAY 17: Drive back to Punta Arenas where we’ll celebrate and spend the night.
– DAY 18: Finally we take our flights back to home.
As a final point, climber must have prior rock climbing experience and an excellent physical condition because of its technical difficulty. I offer all my mountain knowledge and experience to make you live a great adventure.

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.
