We’ll meet in Chos Malal and head to the Vega camp (2,400m) where we will start our slow ascent through the valley until we reach base camp (3,100 meters). From there, we’ll continue a couple hours to another camp at 3,400 meters.
Then on the third day of our expedition, we’ll begin trekking before the sun rises, at 3:00 am. The way to the top is located at a quiet trail that rises slowly. And overall, this last patch does not pose any technical challenge. However, when we are at 4,000 meters, we’ll reach the most delicate sector. Due to the terrain’s conditions and steepness, we’ll have to use the technical equipment. But, after that step, the path continues with no further difficulty. The total ascent to reach the summit will take us about 7 or 8 hours. And, upon completion we’ll descend through the same road back to our camp and rest.
After the summit day, and a good night sleep, we’ll head back to the starting point of our adventure, where a vehicle will be waiting for us to drive us to Aguas Calientes. Here, we’ll find a natural river with warm water that reaches 37ºC. Thus, it will be a real treat to swim on its water. Finally, after relaxing there for a bit, we’ll return to the cottages where we’ll have an exquisite dinner and relax some more.
So, if you are up for this mountaineering adventure in the Patagonia, just send me a request. It will be my pleasure to guide you to the top of Dumayo.
I also guide this 2-day ascent to the Tromen Volcano, if you want to keep exploring Argentina.
