Description

For 10 exciting days, I would like to guide you to the summits of no less than 4 incredible volcanoes in Chile. Those volcanoes include San Francisco (6,020m), Vicunas (6,060m), Ermitano (6,060m) and Penas Blancas (6,056m).

Located in northern Chile, all four of these volcanoes are absolutely stunning and offer unique climbs. And, because all four of the volcanoes exceed 6,000 meters, you can be sure the views you will get to enjoy from their respective summits will take your breath away.

Our base camp throughout the trip will be Laguna Verde (4,300m). This beautiful area makes for a great trip on its own, as there are several soothing hot springs to enjoy and some great food as well, but on this trip, it will be but a part of the adventure. From Laguna Verde, you will positioned close to each and every volcano. As a result, every ascent can be done in a single day. Furthermore, the time spent in Laguna Verde, which includes a full rest day, will give you the opportunity to get properly acclimatized. We will also be visiting the lovely Laguna Santa Rose for a day, and hiking to the top of the Mulas Muertas as well. Thus adding even more to this wonderful adventure.

Each volcano ascent will take between 4 to 7 hours. We will scale approximately 1000 meters of elevation for each climb as well. As a result, participants on this trip should be in good physical condition.

An expedition that includes climbing to the summits of 4 volcanoes in Chile is an expedition you will never forget. To join me on this amazing 10-day adventure, please send a request.

Would you like to climb to the summit of the amazing Cerro El Plomo, near Santiago? Then come and join me on this 4-day expedition.

About the guide

Guide profile image

Adolfo

For more than 20 years I have worked as a guide in Chile. Join me and I´ll be able to show you the wonderful spots that the Andes offer to those who share my passion for big mountains.

I live in Santiago de Chile, the Chilean capital, where there are many options for high altitude ascents, even over 6,000 meters, in close proximity to the city. I also regularly organize trips to the Chilean Altiplano, where there are many mountains over 6000 meters. However, the main attraction of these trips is to witness the intensity and loneliness of the Atacama Desert.

I would love to have the opportunity to share these magical moments with you and help you achieve your goals and dreams.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
