A 20-day program to discover one of the most stunning places for climb lovers: Tupungato Volcano A great experience with certified mountains guides.
20 Days
Jan, Feb, Nov, Dec
Tupungato Volcano is located in the Andes range, more precisely in the border between Argentina and Chile. Because of its altitude, 6570 meters, is one of highest peaks in South America.
I propose a 20-day program in which we’ll climb the incredible and technical Tupungato and also enjoy beautiful landscapes it offers. Climbers must have prior mountaineering experience and a good physical condition.
– Day 1: Meeting at Santiago de Chile. Night in a hotel.
– Day 2: We drive to Cajon del Maipo where we enter to Colorado valley, more precisely to Chacayar. From there we hike to Baños Azules where we spend the night.
– Day 3 – 12: The acclimatization process starts with a hiking to Base Camp. Afterwards, we move to Camp 1 and then, Camp 2 where we can enjoy amazing views of Cerro Polleras and Chimbote. Lastly, we climb to Camp 3. The high Camp is the last one before our great climbing.
– Day 13 – 15: Tupungato volcano climbing. The exactly day will depend on weather conditions.
– Day 16: Descend to Base Camp.
– Day 17 – 20: We descend to Colorado valley with mules carrying our gear in 2 days. Return to Santiago de Chile where we’ll celebrate. The next day, we take our flights back to home.

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.
