Step into one of the world’s most legendary valleys for alpinism in El Chaltén, Patagonia - known as the gateway to some of the most incredible views in the world. Here, under my expert guidance, we’ll climb the towering granite spire of Cerro Torre.
Our journey begins in El Chaltén, where we’ll hike to Laguna Torre, the stunning gateway to the Torre Glacier. We’ll camp for the night at the glacier’s edge, surrounded by towering granite peaks.
Trek deep into the glacier to the base camp of Cerro Torre, known as "Niponino," before returning to the campsite. Finally, we’ll head back to El Chaltén, wrapping up our patagoninan adventure!

Meeting point
We walk from Chalten to Torre's lake, this part its a well walked trail and it takes 3 hours. From here we cross a river using a zipline and start walking in remote terrain with bad marked trails. We need to climb 500 meters of Cerro Solo and then go down 400 meters to the entry of the glacier. This is the place of our first camp.
We start the day putting on the crampons. We are going to be in the glacier the rest of the day (and part of the third day). We are going to cross Grande's glacier and get to the torre's glacier. Then walk 8km to Niponino base camp. This camp it's the camp used by climbers to climb Cerro Torre and Cerro Fitz Roy. We are going to stay the night here.
In the last day we are going to walk back what we did in day 1 and 2. Arriving in Chalten!

Mountain Guide
I was born in Bariloche, Patagonia. My father was a woodranger so I was raised in nature and the mountains. With time this became my passion and profession. I'm also a mountain photographer, I love to look for new ways to show nature and our playground: the mountains.

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.
