    Let’s go to climb the El Plomo peak, one of the most famous mountains in Santiago!

    With a summit covered by glaciers, El Plomo peak is visible from all the central valley of the Andes. In the past, its summit was reached by the Incas, who used it as high sanctuary.

    For this program that I am offering, we will use mules to help us transport the equipment to the base. We’ll ascend El Plomo peak by a safe trail, using crampons for the crossing of the upper glacier.

    Once we are at the top (at 5450 meters), you will be able to contemplate much of the Andean massif, including the famous Aconcagua summit, on the other side of the mountain range.

    The best period to come to this Chilean region is during the summer, from November to March. In this season you can also enjoy many other outdoor activities. For example, you can challenge yourself by climbing the San Jose volcano in a 5-day program I am leading.

    So, if you are planning to come to Chile I can organize a perfect trip for you, according to your wishes and expectations. Contact me now for further details!

    Gastón is incredible and so professional! He met with us before the trip to make sure we were prepared and to go over all the details which was extremely helpful. Dinners with his great cooking and good conversation were one of my favorite things. When we hiked, he set the perfect steady pace for acclimating to the altitude and not getting too tired. This trip wouldn\'t have been the same without Gastón. I wouldn\'t go with anyone else!
