Description

Come join me on this Puyehue Volcano 2-day guided ascent and discover this Patagonian treasure! This trip is ideal for those who are taking their first steps in mountaineering.

With its enchanted forests, active volcanoes covered in snow and crystal-clear lakes, Patagonia promises a world of adventures. And with 123 active volcanoes, Chile offers one of the most amazing landscapes in the region. During this program, we’ll travel all the way from the northern Argentinean Patagonia to Chile, where the Puyehue Volcano (2,240 m) awaits us.

Located in the Andes Mountains, in the Los Lagos Region, this active volcano is famous for its enormous crater and for being one of the most accesible volcanoes in the country. Once we reach Puyehue’s summit, we’ll be able to observe the crater’s interior and at the same time, marvel at the incredible views of the Andes Mountains. Furthermore, bear in mind that although this program is suitable for beginners and intermediate climbers, it’s important that all participants are physically fit.

Regarding our starting point, our adventure can kick off from San Martin de los Andes or Villa La Angostura. Both of these magical spots are in the Argentine province of Neuquén and from there, we’ll cross over to Chile through the Cardenal Samoré International Pass. For a more detailed description of the trip, take a look at the itinerary below!

We’ll wake up really early in the morning, have a delicious breakfast and before dawn we’ll start with the ascent.

At the beginning of the path, we’ll cross through several tall grasslands and then w’ll encounter with rocks and snow that will make it easier to walk.

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.

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.
