A fantastic trip to Cochamo Valley. Jose was incredibly helpful in organizing and Falco was a fantastic guide who knew the valley well and contributed to a fun and effective effort. I would certainly recommend this trip. Keep in mind, this excursion is strenuous, so be prepared for an intense experience. Everything I could have hoped for!

There are many reasons for choosing Rock Climbing in Chile

The Andes mountain range runs down South America like a spine, while Chile homes a rich collection of the highest peaks on the range. Mountains such as the Ojos del Salado (6,893m), Parinacota (6,348m), Incahuasi (6,620m) and Llullaillaco (6,739m) are but a few of the colossal summits that can be climbed while offering fantastic natural views.

What's the weather like?

The mountainous sections of Chile receive temperatures that are much cooler than other regions of the country, as well as experiencing a windy and dry climate

More info about Rock Climbing in Chile:

The territory of Chile forms a long and narrow strip that is naturally squeezed between the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andean mountains to the east. The country is 2,653 miles long, yet just 110 miles wide on average. To the north and northeast Chile borders Peru and Bolivia, while to the east it borders Argentina and shares much of the Andes, and the Drake Passage lies to the south. Its extreme length creates a deep diversity of climates and terrain, with the mountains playing a prominent role
