Description

When it comes to enjoying Patagonia, the options are virtually endless. There is just so much to do and so much to see. This 8-day adventure will allow you to start in the beautiful city of Bariloche, move on for some days in the gorgeous areas of Baguales Mountain lodge, and conclude in the volcanoes of Chile, before returning to Bariloche.

Baguales is a an amazing place. The mountain reserve is unforgettable, and is filled with the kind of breathtaking natural scenery that has come to define Patagonia. You will also get to enjoy some great slopes and sleep in some comfortable refuges.

Once we reach Chile, the terrain, like the adventure, will shift to pictures of the volcanoes. The list of volcanoes on this portion of the trip include Casa Blanca (2,240m) and Osorno (2,652m). You will get to ascend and enjoy the trill of ski or split-boarding down all of these great peaks. Along with the peaks, you will also get to enjoy some hot springs, visit Villa Angostura and Puerto Varas city, and drive across the Andes in between Argentina and Chile.

Participants on this trip should be able to ski and split-board at an advanced level and be in good physical condition. To enjoy this adventure, all you have to do is send me a request. I look forward to guiding you. And if you only want to experience one of the portions of this trip, just let me know. I will be happy to work out a specific itinerary for you.

I also lead a Ski tour of the Volcanoes in Patagonia as well, if you want to see more of that splendid area.

Mountain Guide

I was born in a very remote area of northern Argentina which gave me a special appreciation for the outdoors. When I was 16 my family moved south, closer to the mountains, and I started to climb in the Andes. I've been mountaineering – trekking and climbing – ever since.
I've traveled and climbed throughout Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, the USA, Canada and Europe. I spent two summer seasons working in Aosta, Italy where I completed numerous ascents and climbing on the area.
At some point in my younger years, my career path steered me to the telecommunications industry, scaling towers and fixing cellular systems. But the mountains were never far away and I eventually returned to my roots and become a mountain guide since 2001.
In the winter I focus on being a ski guide around the mountain range and also the volcanoes, this is how I spend part of my time on the winter seasons as well as teaching backcountry ski and avalanche awareness courses.

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.
