What people are saying about {{text}}

Cerro El Plomo is located at an altitude of 5,434 m (17,783 ft) in the Chilean Andes, and is one of the classic mountains of central Chile. Its stunning peak and glacier can be seen all the way from Santiago. El Plomo is also an amazing vantage point to catch sight of other Andean giants in the region, including Aconcagua. On this 4-day mountaineering tour, we will climb to the Plomo summit and enjoy a unique ascent in the Andes.

El Plomo is also an appealing mountain to climb due to its historical relevance. The Incas buried a _Kauripaxa,_ a mummy of a child meant as a sacred offering. Throughout the whole mountain tiny _tambos_ built by the Incas leave a testament to this sacred burial. As you climb, you will be able to observe them and connect with this ancient culture.

Another great thing about El Plomo is that it offers amazing climbing alternatives for both beginner and advanced mountaineers. Options to climb El Plomo include taking the normal route, accessible even to those who don't have much mountaineering experience, or taking a more direct route through the Iver glacier. This second route is more demanding and suitable for mountaineers with more experience.

Regardless of how experienced you are, you will need an excellent fitness level to tackle El Plomo. Furthermore, some prior mountain trekking experience is required even if you are not an advanced mountaineer. Of course, you will have a certified guide to show you every step of the way.

If you would like to join this amazing adventure in the Chilean Andes, please send us a request to book this tour and we will help you make all the necessary arrangements for an unforgettable mountain climbing trip!

Climb Cerro El Plomo in the Chilean Andes

The San José volcano lies at an altitude of 5,856 m (19,213 ft). It is one of three active volcanoes in the central region of Chile, just 90 km away from Santiago. The San José volcano is also important for the city because it is also a source of waters due to its many glaciers. On this 5-day trip, we will climb the emblematic peak and discover its stunning nature.

San José lies in the Maipo Canyon on the Chilean-Argentine border and its summit is just between both countries. On the ascent you will discover one of the first Chilean huts, which was built by the Plantat family in 1937 at an altitude of 3100 m.a.s.l.

The program starts and ends in Santiago. We will set off early in the morning and head to the Maipo basin until we reach the starting point of our ascent. During the following days, we will approach the summit and explore beautiful wilderness areas with glaciers, morrains, craters and views of Andean giants such as the 6100m high Marmolejo.

Climbing San José volcano requires a very good physical shape. It is not a technical ascent, but there are some stretches of the climb that are very demanding. If you have any doubts about your physical preparation, then don't hesitate to inquire.

If you would like to book this program, then send your request and we can begin making plans to climb San José together!
