Have you always wanted to be in a real mountain expedition? So, this trek around Nevado de Chañi is ideal for you. Join me in this amazing exploration!

10 Days

Mar, Apr


Description

It will be a really exciting hike to the base of the Nevado de Chañi.

The Nevado de Chañi is the highest peak of the Andes of Jujuy, Argentina. It has an altitude of 5.994 meters and divides the provinces of Salta and Jujuy.

This trekking around Nevado de Chañi will be more than a backpack journey. During these 10 days, you will achieve goals, plan the best route for each day and learn to ration food.

In summary, it will be a real mountain expedition surrounding the Nevado of Chañi.

The trail will turn deeper at each new step until you are finally under the shadow of the Chañi. Once in there, you will be exactly in the border between the two provinces!

The way back will be across the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a famous mountainous groove.

For further information, here you’ll find the following detailed itinerary of the trip:

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.

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.
