Join a member of the Cerro Castillo Mountain Guides Team on this 4-day expedition across Cerro Castillo classic trekking route. One of the most famous trails of Chilean Patagonia.
4 Days
Jan - Mar, Nov, Dec
The Cerro Castillo classic trekking route is located in the Cerro Castillo Natural Reserve. This protected area lies among the watershed of the Aysen and Ibanez Rivers. Besides, it is crossed by the well-known Southern Road (in Spanish Carretera Austral).
As your guide I want to propose a really unique hiking expedition of 4 days across the Cerro Castillo classic trekking route.
The adventure will start in Las Horquetas, will continue hiking along the Laguna Cerro Castillo and finally, getting to the village.
During this 4-day expedition we will count on the help of porters that will make our trip lighter. And although it is not necessary to have previous hiking experience you should be well trained because there will be days of more than 6 hours of walking.
For more details, please find below a day-by-day program of Cerro Castillo classic trekking route:
DAY 1
We will be taken to Las Horquetas where the trek starts. We will hike up to the Turbio River Base Camp. Total walking time: 4 to 5 hours.
DAY 2
During this day, we will continue to trek towards the Forest Camp. It is located at the foot of the southern face of Cerro Peñon. Total walking time: 5 to 6 hours.
DAY 3
Trek to Laguna Cerro Castillo, the most important spot of the trail. Once in there, we will be at the base of the peak, admiring its hanging glaciers. We keep hiking along the lagoon in order to reach New Zealander Camp. Total walking time of the day: 7 to 8 hours.
DAY 4
In our last day, we will descend to the trailhead of Estero Parada, where a transfer will be waiting us. We’ll be taken to the Cerro Castillo Village.

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.
