I have been a mountain guide for more than 10 years. I guide all along the Andes Mountain Range, including in Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Peru.

My high season takes place in northern Patagonia, in the mountains of Chile and Argentina, from August to December. I then focus on Aconcagua during January and February. From April to June, I guide in Cordillera Blanca in Peru.

I really enjoy my job and strive to innovate year after year.

What people are saying about {{text}}

**Domuyo** is a stratovolcano in the **Cordillera del Viento**, a mountain range that belongs to the **Andes**. It’s in the Argentinean province of **Neuquén** and has an altitude of **4,707 meters**. Join me on this **4-day program** to its summit!

Our program will begin at **8 am in Varvarco**, in the department of **Minas**, and then we’ll transfer you to the ascent’s starting point. On day 2, we’ll have an **acclimatization day** in the southeastern glacier of the mountain and return to base camp. Then, day 3 will be our summit day. We’ll begin at 4 am and get to the top at 1 pm. During the ascent, we’ll find obstacles that will require some technical skills. Finally, on day 4, we’ll pick up the camp and go to **Los Bolillos**, where we’ll share a delicious local meal together.

Please, take into account that it’s mandatory to have some **prior mountaineering experience** as well as a **very good fitness level** to take part of this trip. During the whole ascent, we’ll face an elevation gain of **2,300 meters** and find some challenging sections while climbing.

**If you think this ascent would suit you, then all you need to do is send the request to make your reservation. If you love mountaineering, you can’t miss this chance in Patagonia!**

Another mountaineering option in Neuquén could be this 2-day ascent that I lead to the famous [**Lanin Volcano**](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/lanin-volcano-2-day-ascent-neuquen-patagonia/). Check it out!

Follow UIMLA-AAGM certified mountain guide Chicho on this 4-day adventure and reach the summit of the Domuyo Volcano in the Argentinean province of Neuquén, Patagonia.

Domuyo Volcano, 4-day Ascent in Neuquen (Patagonia)

Would you like to discover what the world looks like from the top of one of Patagonia’s most stunning spots? Then come with me on this 2-day ascent and reach the summit of the stunning Lanin Volcano.

At **3,776 meters** above sea level, **Lanin Volcano** is one of Patagonia’s jewels. It’s located in the south of Argentina and Chile and it’s inside the **Lanin National Park**.

For this excursion, first, we’ll meet in **San Martín de los Andes** or **Junín de los Andes**, both in the Argentinean province of **Neuquén**. On day 1, we’ll check in to the park and begin our ascent to the mountain hut area. We’ll go through a snow-covered zone where we’ll need to use crampons. Then, on day 2, we’ll start the approach to the summit very early in the morning. Due to the altitude of the volcano, we’ll be able to contemplate the surroundings and the beautiful sight of the lakes and woods. Finally, we’ll relax after the climb and share a well-deserved snack together.

Please, keep in mind that we’ll spend around **7-8 hours** on the ascent and face an elevation gain of around **1,300 meters** per day. Therefore, it’s very important to have a **good fitness level**.

**So, does this ascent to the Lanin Volcano sound exciting? Then don’t hesitate to send the request and book your place for this mountaineering adventure!**

I also offer a [4-day ascent to the Domuyo Volcano](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/domuyo-volcano-4-day-ascent-neuquen-patagonia/) in the area!
