San José volcano guided ascent in Central Andes

An unforgettable 9-day mountaineering trip up to the summit of the massive stratovolcano of San José. A unique expedition in the Central Andes led by the local IFMGA guide, Eduardo.

9 Days

Jan - Mar, Nov, Dec

Description

I am proposing a 9-day ascent expedition to the San José summit. A prudent time to get well acclimatized and enjoy the Central Andes’ beauties.

The San José is a 5821-meter-high volcano lying just in the Chilean-Argentinean border. It is a millenarian volcano which currently contains superposed craters and volcanic lava flows. Despite of that, this volcano only erupted in the 19th and 20th centuries. That makes it a really enjoyable ascent.

The reasons why I’d like to guide you there are the following ones:

You will be part of a real challenge in the heart of the Central Andes;
We’ll walk across a stunning Andean landscape;
There will be the best panoramic views of all the surrounding peaks over 6000 meters of height.

I recommend to do this climbing trip from November to March. The spring and summer times are the most suitable for a nice experience in the Central Andes.

I can take with me a group of 6 to 12 guests. I have some open groups for next departures that you can join if you are alone. All participants must have an excellent fitness level. Keep in mind that the high altitude and its temperatures can turn this trip into a demanding one.

So, if you want to join me for a unique climbing expedition to this rarely visited area of the Central Andes, please contact me! Fill out the form and I will answer you as soon as possible.

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.
