Description

The Parinacota volcano (6,376m) is an amazing peak to climb. And, on this 9-day expedition, you will not only get to climb the great volcano, but you will also get to explore the gorgeous area around it.

Standing tall in the Andes of northern Chile, the Parinacota volcano lies just north of the Chungara lake and is neighbored by the Pomerape peak (6,282m). Despite its imposing size the Parinacota volcano is not overly difficult to climb. As a result, it is very popular with climbers from all over the world.

During this 9-day adventure you will get to visit a number of wonderful towns. Those towns include Putre, Parinacota, Socoroma and Caquena. You will also get to admire the area’s rich flora and fauna as well as wildlife, including guayas, flamingos, vicunas, vizcachas and more. Furthermore, the views you will get, not just of the Chilean Andes, but also of the Bolivian Altiplanic landscapes, are breathtaking.

Since this trip lasts for 9 days, you will have plenty of time to get properly acclimatized. To ensure proper acclimatization, we will even climb the Guane-Guane Mountain (5,190m). The climb will take approximately 8 hours.

It is important that participants on this trip are in good physical condition.

The Parinacota volcano is an amazing peak to climb. Moreover, the area around it is amazing to explore. And, it would be my pleasure to show it all to you over 9 extraordinary days. To join me on this adventure, all you have to do is send a request. I know you’ll have a great time.

I also offer a 13-day trip that will take you to the summit of the Ojos de Salado volcano, which also happens to be the highest volcano in the world!

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.
