Description

Paso Vuriloche is the gateway to the heart of the Andes Mountain Range.

This time, I want to invite you to a trekking expedition across Paso Vuriloche, the Andean forest and of course, the best glaciers of the region.

They will be 8 amazing days of hike that starts in Pampa Linda, Argentina. During the trip, we will walk among the Valdivian forest, lakes and waterfalls. Our ending point will be in the Chilean lake of Todos los Santos.

If you want to know more about this trekking trip, please find here below the complete itinerary:

DAY 1

Our trail-head will be Pampa Linda, near the border between Argentina and Chile. Once we are in a waterfall called Saltillo de las Nalcas, we’ll hike towards the Manso Glacier. We’ll cross to the Chilean side across the Paso Vuriloche. Our first camp will be set up at Mallin Chileno (1.300 meters high).

Trekking Time: 5 hours

Distance: 15 Km

Altitude gain: 600 m

DAY 2

Today we’ll climb to Mount Tronador hut at 2.200 meters above sea level. We’ll return to Mallin Chileno cabins.

Trekking time: 5 hours

Distance: 10 km

Altitude gain: 900 m

DAY 3

We leave the camp behind in direction to the west. We must hike down across a burned forest that will lead us to the Valdivian one.

After some serious trekking hours we’ll be finally at our camp. We’ll spend the night in a comfortable house of the family Oyarzo. From there, we will enjoy the best views of the Patagonia.

Trekking time: 6 hours

Distance: 10 km

Altitude gain: – 700 m (strong descent)

DAY 4

Across an easy climb we’ll be at La Piedra del Buitre Pass. After that rocky path we continue on a wider road until we arrive to Leti Hot Springs. It’s time for a rest but we must be careful because the hot waters can reach 75 °C! We can also swim in a cold stream or mix both waters in order to obtain the perfect temperature.

Trekking time: 4 hours

Distance: 8 km

Altitude gain: – 250 m

DAY 5

Today we will rest in Termas de Leti.

DAY 6

We’ll start the classic Chilean “horse trail”. It is a valley with muddy paths (specially in rainy days) and lower temperatures.

Trekking time: 7 hours

Distance: 16 km

DAY 7

A similar terrain than the day before with the plus of wading 3 rivers. Four hours later, we will be finally in the Cayutue Lake. We continue walking along the lake until we are in one of its bay, where we’ll rest.

Trekking time: 6 hours

Distance: 15 km

DAY 8

During the last day we will cross the Cayutue River by boat and then, continue hiking up to the final point, the Cayutue Landing on Todos los Santos  Lake.

A last sailing in direction to Petrohue Port to celebrate the end of such an amazing trekking program.

Trekking time: 3 hours

Distance: 8 Km

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.

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

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.
