1+ tägiges Felskletterprogramm in Pucón, Chile

Our group had a great time skiing with Cristobal. He was everything you would expect a certified mountain guide to be. He was professional and safe, has exceptional mountain awareness and technical capabilities, and has great communication skills. He checked all the boxes for guiding and he made it fun as well. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a guided trip in Chile.

I was matched with Renato Esteban Rodriguez Parra Huaraz (License No. 155-22 w/IFMGA) who took me to Palestras, El Manzano, in Cajon del Maipo. Renato organized a taxi to pick me up and drop me off right at my hotel/airbnb. He was an amazing guide, who helped me push myself when I needed encouragement, gave beta when I felt stuck, and gave tips on how to properly prepare for the day of climbing. (Sunscreen, shoes, food, clothes, and gear). Renato was able to suggest difficult but doable routes based on what I told him for my level of climbing. I felt safe the entire time, I didn’t feel pressured to lead, he gave great recommendations for Santiago and the surrounding area, as knows a good bit about it such as fun things to do, and what areas are safe. His English is very good, there were almost no moments of misunderstanding each other due to a language barrier. In addition to climbing, has a passion for hip hop, and music. He regaled me with quite a few fun stories of living in the Santiago area. I’d say I’ve my one day climbing with him, my Spanish and my climbing improved. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Great day out

Cristóbal was a phenomenal guide. Couldn’t have asked for a better week. Relaxed, fun and very enjoyable.
