Description

On this 3-day hike, I will train and guide you to achieve the incredible feat of climbing the active volcanoes of Nevados de Chillán (3,212m) in Chile.

Located in the Bío Bío region, the Nevados de Chillán is one of the most active stratovolcano groups in Chile. A unique landscape of cracked lava, craters and glaciers is of particular interest to curious hikers!

With three overlapping peaks including Cerro Blanco (3,212m) at the northwest, Volcán Viejo (3,089m) at the southeast and Volcán Nuevo in the middle, Nevados de Chillán provides a challenge and amazing views.

The beautiful Laguna del Laja, also located in the Nevados de Chillán Biological Corridor Biosphere Reserve, is the main attraction of the volcanic complex. You'll be amazed as we approach the lagoon!

As you can imagine, mountaineering requires a combination of skill, patience and accurate technique. On this 3-day tour, I will train and guide you step by step to acquire the necessary skills to face any challenges we may encounter during the climb.

On the first day, we'll meet at the Ayun Koyam mountaineering facility in Chillán. We'll spend some time here preparing before beginning our journey toward the summit on the second day.

If you have your own technical equipment, please bring it along as we might traverse glaciers during our ascent. If you do not have this gear, I can provide it for you.

Alpine Guide

I've been practicing mountaineering for more than 30 years, always in the Andes, Cordillera Blanca, Cordillera Real and Patagonia. I was born in Santiago (Chile's capital city) but I've chosen to live in the mountains, close to a National Park and a ski resort. I also enjoy guiding in the volcanoes in southern Chile because of their incredible beauty!

My programs include accommodation in my beautiful and rustic cabins in a small village, so you'll also be contributing to sustain the local economy. Taking care of the environment is also a key element of my job and it is very important to me.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
