Description

Join me in an incredible trek adventure through the Patagonia, in southern Argentina and Chile!

I propose a 18-day program in which we’ll discover two of the most beautiful parks in Patagonia: Torres del Paine in southern Chile and Park of the Glaciers in Argentina.

Firstly, we’ll hike through Torres del Paine Park (Chile) in which we can appreciate incredible granite massifs shaped by the glacial ice. In addition, this park offers a unique flora and fauna with many protected species.

Then, we continue in the Park of the Glaciers located in Santa Cruz, Argentina. With 47 glaciers, peaks and many beautiful lakes, it’s one of the most spectacular places in the world. In this case, we’ll focus our trek around the Fitzroy Massif.

Below the program:

DAY 1: Flight from Santiago de Chile to Punta Arenas. We’ll meet at the hotel where we prepare ourselves for the next days.

DAY 2: We drive to Torres del Paine Park, while crossing the Patagonian Pampas. We get to Hosteria Las Torres for then begin our trek to Torres Camp.

DAY 3 – 7: During these days, first of all we hike to Silence Valley where we can admire mythical granite spires such as Fortaleza, Torres del Paine. Then, we continue through Mirador de las Torres from we’ll get beautiful panoramic views of glaciers. Afterwards, we pass across Lake Pehoe to French Valley. The last day we admire the Grey Lake and spend the night at Refugio Pehoe.

DAY 8: We leave the park and drive to Puerto Natales. We spend the night in a hotel.

DAY 9: Drive to El Chalten in Argentina where we spend the night in a hotel.

DAY 10 – 17: Once in El Chalten, we hike to the base of the Cerro Torre, where then we’ll explore the glacier. The next days we’ll hike the incredible Fitz Roy and enjoy amazing views. What is more, we visit Laguna de los Tres and Upper Glacier where we can appreciate the Southern Patagonia Icefield. Lastly, we return to Chalten for then drive to Punta Arenas.

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.
