Description

There are an abundance of beautiful Chilean volcanoes to explore and enjoy throughout the Patagonia region of the country.

On this week long adventure, I would like to guide you on a splitboarding tour on several of those wonderful Chilean volcanoes. This trip begins in the lovely town of Pucon. Once there, we will spend the day practicing splitboarding techniques and avalanche safety techniques along with an equipment check in the Villarrica ski resort area.

For the following five days we will ascend to the summits of four different Chilean volcanoes. Those volcanoes include Villarrica (2,840m), Lounquimay (2,890m), Llaima (3,125m) and Copahue (2,297m). For each volcano, you will get a unique splitboarding experience. The views you will get on the way up, and particularly from the summits, are stunning. And when it comes to the descents, they are absolutely thrilling.

Along with the joy of the volcanoes, you will get to visit several wonderful places during this trip. In addition to Pucon, you will get to visit, explore and spend the night in Caviahue and Curacautin/Malacahuelo. Hence giving you an opportunity to really immerse yourself in this glorious region of Chile.

This trip is very physically demanding. As a result, participants should be in excellent physical condition.

For a full week, my goal is to give you the kind of splitboarding experience that you will never forget. And I have no doubt that this adventure will achieve that goal. So send me a request, and let the fun begin!

I also offer a 6 day ski touring trip that will take you from the famous Frey hut to the Jacob hut in Argentinean Patagonia.

Mountain Guide

Mountain Guide - EPGAMT - Argentina
I was born in Patagonia, Argentina and formed at an early age as a climber in the Nahuel Huapi National Park. Currently I completed a large number of rock and ice climbing routes, backcountry skiing and ascents in many mountains around the world such as Mt. Lhotse (8.516 mts.), the 4th highest peak in the world, without using supplemental oxygen (May, 2012).
I'm a certified Mountain Guide from the EPGAMT and a member of the Argentinian Mountain Guides Association (AAGM) and work on Mt. Aconcagua, which I had repeatedly ascended, as well as in other peaks in the Central Andes, Patagonia, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and in The Himalayas in Nepal.
During the winter season, I practice backcountry skiing, mostly on the volcanoes in Patagonia, where I can offer you different adventures, according to your level (beginner, learner or advanced learner).
I feel very privileged to work as a mountain guide, to do the job that I love, and to be able to share it with people that have the same passion.
Join my expeditions and I will provide you a high standard of safety and personal attention!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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!

Maxine

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.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

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.

Cami

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.
