Description

If you're coming to Santiago de Chile and you're looking for a close by hike with great natural beauty, this 1-day San Francisco Glacier trek is exactly what you're looking for.

This program will take you to one of the most popular touristic spots in Chile: El Morado Natural Monument. Located close to Baños Morales in Cajón del Maipo, and only a few hours away from Santiago, this is one of the most spectacular sceneries you'll find in this region.

I'll guide you through a mountain path starting from the town of Baños Morales. During our hike we'll be surrounded by a panoramic view of the Cordillera de los Andes. Plus we'll see some amazing features like natural ponds of mineral water coming down from the melting ice and the Laguna Morales, with its crystal clear water.

And at the end of the path we'll find the natural wonder we came to see: The San Francisco Glacier, lying down from the mountain with the same name.

Sounds like fun? Send me a request now and come join me on this amazing 1-day San Francisco Glacier trek. It's a great way to discover this gorgeous area.

Mountain Guide

UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide from Chile

Mountain guide and instructor from the Chilean Andinism Federation (FEACH) and certified Wilderness First Responder.

I’ve opened several climbing routes in Chile, and was one of the first and very few Chileans to summit Cerro Torre, Fitz Roy, Paine Grande and Torres del Paine.

I climbed almost all the technical mountain in Cajón del Maipo, in Central Chile, and did some of the most important routes in Yosemite, Indian Creek and Patagonia.

And regarding ski mountaineering, I skied down Mount Illimani and Huayna Potosí in Bolivia, and Cerro Castillo, Morado Norte and Sur in Chile.

Pierre

Nicolas is an excellent guide, with incredible mountaineering knowledge and technique (which was particularly worthwhile during our expedition when we encountered harsh winter conditions). His english is also very good. In short, I recommend this mountain guide.

Julie

My trip with Nicolas was perfect. He catered to my climbing preference and the hot springs at the end of day was exactly what we needed. I would definitely do it again! Thanks Nico for my first experience in climbing in Chile!

Charles

The guide did not know the route. We spent a lot of time trying to find the route. The climbing itself was good.

Carl

The trip was awesome. Our guide Nicolas was extremely knowledgeable about the terrain and very helpful. He is an expert guide. The sights were beautiful. The office quickly responded to our request and questions and provided excellent information.
