Description
Join me to an exploratory mountaineering expedition to Darwin range, in the furthest south extreme of Chilean Patagonia.
Darwin Range is known for its mountains and amazing wild lands that are becoming the future of mountaineering in Patagonia. It makes de mountaineers fall in love with the magic of the hostile and generates the deepest admiration for nature.
The last tip of the Andes mountain range, the Darwin range is part of Alberto de Agostini National Park.
Darwin Range has many very active glacier, and often massive chunks of ice will plummet into the sea below. Sea lions, penguins and leopards seals curiously poke their heads through the floating ice chunks. And often also foxes and penguins wander the beaches and hillsides nearby.
This one of a kind expedition on a sailboat is unique in south Patagonia. We use the boat as a base camp, returning there once reached the summit or whatever the group is looking forward to do in the place. This tactic allows the expeditions to have a better safety framework than any other activity without support of any kind. It also provides comfort and a relaxation spot once the daily output is over.
All the sailboats which travel to Darwin Mountain Range have individual and shared beds, a restroom with shower, a living room with table for breakfast/lunch, hot water and infusions all day long, a kitchen and a dining room (the capacity of the boat will be recommended depending on the number of people in the party).
We offer service of guidance for any mountain in Darwin Range.
We can customize the program according to what the customer wants to do in the area. This can include not only mountaineering activities but also scientific.
Please ask for arranged programs, prices and dates.
This trip offers you a perfect way to experience this incredible place with the massive glacial ice and the soaring mountains. Join us on this amazing journey as well sail under the peaks of the namesake Darwin Mountain Range and encounter Glaciers and wildlife up close. Be delight by the vastness of Patagonia and share your experience!

Mountain Guide, GEM-AAGM Ski Guide, UIMLA, AIARE level 2 from Argentina.
I was born and live in Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world! I've been skiing since I was 2 years old, and competed as a ski athlete in a Nordic ski and Biathlon world ski championships, world cups and in the winter Olimpic Games Torino 2006
In 2007 I retired from professional competitions to focus on my guiding career. I trained on rock, ice and mixed climbing skills as well as guiding techniques and became a mountain guide in 2011 at the Argentinean Mountaineering Guides Association (AAGM). In 2017 I completed the guiding courses to become also a certified Ski Mountain Guide GEM-AAGM.
I've done a large number of technical climbs at the Darwin Range and Patagonia while many of those are new lines

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.
