We’ll explore places like the Araucania and Los Lagos region. And visit beautiful towns like Pucon and Malalcahuello, where you’ll learn about the culture of the people that live here and enjoy their hospitality.
Also, I will take into careful consideration all your expectations, previous experiences and preferences. So the places we’ll visit and the options for accommodation will be open. So, we could stay at nice lodges, or enjoy nature at its fullest, camping in beautiful settings.
Some of the places we could visit are:
Base Malacahuello
From here we can head to the Longimay or Tolhuaca volcanoes. Or we could reach the summit of the Llaima volcano, and head down to the Conguillio National Park. Here, you’ll enjoy stunning sceneries, delicious typical food and soak in hot springs. You’ll also visit majestic towns of mapuches -the indigenous people that inhabit these lands-.
Base Pucon
At the base of Villarica, lies the bigger town of Pucon. From here we can head climb the Lanin, Villarrica and Quetrupillan volcanoes. And we can visit hot springs too. Another great thing about this region is the Avalancha en el volcán, a popular local celebration.
Base Puyehue Hut
This place is so remote, we’ll need the help of horses to reach it. But the hypnotizing views you’ll get here are completely worth it! Ever thought about skiing into a crater? We can do it here, as well as several faces of the Puyehue volcano! After a couple of nights exploring this amazing place, we can head to the volcanoes of Casa Blanca and Osorno.
So send me a request and explore one of Chile’s wildest places! You can also check out this Heliskiing trip in Portillo.

My family brought me to the mountains of Portillo in the Andes, when I was barely 15 days old and I've been hocked ever since. Going there every year I´ve met great skiers and mountain people from all over the world and I was inspire by the adventure stories that brought them to these mountains. In my twenty’s I set out in search of that lifestyle, moved to the mountains and have been skiing and mountaineering ever since. Now after years exploring in the Andes and Patagonia, these are some of my favorite trips. Join me for some epic times!
