Along with those 3 incredible peaks, you will also get to climb 3 additional peaks for the purpose of acclimatization. Those peaks include the Redondo Colorado (4,180m), Mount Piedra Pomez (4,880m) and the Mulas Muertas north shoulder (5,015m). That’s 6 amazing peaks in the Chilean Andes on one trip!

When embarking on an adventure of this magnitude, it is crucial that participants have the proper climbing experience. It is also imperative that participants are in excellent physical condition. This trip will be arduous and will have difficult moments. However, the rewards you will get in terms of the spellbinding views and the thrilling experience to reach those views will be truly memorable.

Along with the peaks on this trip, you will also get to visit and observe the beauty of the Puna de Atacama plateau. You will get to see the Santa Rosa lake, Laguna Verde, the villages of Caldera and Taltal, and so much more.

Furthermore, to ensure that you reach all of the summits on this trip’s itinerary, there will be several extra days. The purpose of these extra days is to give you some insurance in case of inclement weather, or other unforeseen circumstances.

About the guide

Pako

Mountain Leader

I try to do things differently, I do not like boxes. I have lived in the corporate world, in a caravan, working as an au pair, a frustrated travel photographer and a Spanish teacher in Denmark. Travel backpacking from Spain to Vietnam for a year and travel the length of Chile on my mountain bike.

Always in love with travel, I have been working for the outdoor industry since 2008 traveling the world in more than 30 countries. I love to guide and share my experience and mountaineering skills with other lovers of remote and isolated destinations, far from crowded mountaineering centers. When I'm not working or in the mountains you can find me playing the Spanish guitar sitting on the porch of my house sharing the sunset with my lovely girlfriend.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

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.

Cami

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.
