Description

Are you looking for an awesome mountaineering trip in the Andes? Then follow me on this 3-day winter ascent to the top of Cerro Pantojo (2,024m)!

Cerro Pantojo, or Pantoja,  is an extinct basaltic stratovolcano on the border between Argentina and Chile, about 350kms from the city of Pucón. It stands immediately south of one of the most important international passes between these countries: Cardenal Samoré. In addition, it is part of two National Parks: Puyehue in Chile, and Nahuel Huapi in Argentina.

On this 3-day winter mountaineering tour, we will explore a varied terrain combining, forests, lava basins, and glacial stages. From the spire-shaped summit of Pantojo, known by the locals as “God’s Finger”, we will enjoy panoramic views of the Andes!

In order to go over some parts of the route, we’ll need to use ice climbing equipment. Therefore, please keep in mind that this trip requires a good fitness level and at least an intermediate mountaineering level.

So, would you like to climb an impressive peak in the Andes? Then what are you waiting for? Just contact me and let me guide you to the summit of Cerro Pantojo!

I also offer ski touring experiences in Chile. Check out my Ski touring in the Central Andes: Cajon del Maipo, Cerro Plomo, Portillo, Juncal Valley program!

IFMGA/UIAGM Mountain Guide from Chile

I was born in 1987, and since I was young I’ve been around the mountains, and for the past 12 years I’ve been practicing all mountain disciplines.

Some highlights of my climbing career: First Chilean to Cerro Torre via Ragni, first Torres del Paine alpine style traverse, and many other first ascents.

I did the IFMGA/UIAGM aspirant course in Bolivia in 2016, and recently got my full IFMGA certification in April 2018. I have also AIARE level 2 training.

Come and discover the mountains of Chile, a wonderful country, where we will have a unique experience together with a professional guide, in a truly unforgettable trip, it will be a pleasure to be able to guide you through some of the mountains of my country in your next vacations, i am sure will be the first of many adventures that we will enjoy together in the mountains of the Andes.

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!

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.
