The Choshuenco (2415m) is a glaciated volcano located in the Chilean Patagonia, very popular among hiking and climbing lovers. If you want to reach its summit under expert guidance, join me: let’s have a beautiful alpine adventure in the Andes!
Together with his twin, El Mocho (2422m), this impressive mountain dominates much of the Los Rios landscape, in southern Chile. They are both located within the Mocho-Choshuenco National Reserve and the Huilo-Huilo Natural Reserve.
This 2-day trip (1 day of mountaineering) will takes us to the top of Choshuenco. The ascent is relatively easy and combines hiking with short stages of rock and ice climbing. Once at the summit, the view is incredible: the Valdivian jungle, the Neltume and Pirihueico lakes, among others, and several volcanoes such as Llanín and Villarica.
You can check out the itinerary below!
So, if you are up for an amazing mountaineering trip in the Chilean Andes, please contact me. Let’s reach together the top of Choshuenco and enjoy breathtaking views!
I can also take you to the top of the Villarrica Volcano, check it out!

I was really disappointed with Casa de Guias. It was not a terrible experience because Casa de Guias had found a wonderful guide and assistant although they did not know them (allmountain guide). As to Explore -Share I don´t intent to buy anything. I will write a full description of what happened by e-mail.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
