All year

San Jose Volcano is a “classic” of the Central Andes. From Lo Valdés, which is the nearest town, we will walk along the Engorda Valley to its base camp. We’ll spend our first night in the Plantat Hut. Then, we are expected to get to two more high camps before reaching the summit.
This expedition to San José Volcano will take between 6 and 8 days depending on your physical level and weather conditions.
Please keep in mind that all participants must have a good fitness condition and previous mountaineering experience. It’s a program that adapts to any time of the year. However it is technically and physically easier during the Chilean summer, from December to March.
So get in touch with me now and book your place for next dates. It’ll be my great pleasure to guide you to the San Jose Volcano’s summit!

UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide from Chile
Mountain guide and instructor from the Chilean Andinism Federation (FEACH) and certified Wilderness First Responder.
I’ve opened several climbing routes in Chile, and was one of the first and very few Chileans to summit Cerro Torre, Fitz Roy, Paine Grande and Torres del Paine.
I climbed almost all the technical mountain in Cajón del Maipo, in Central Chile, and did some of the most important routes in Yosemite, Indian Creek and Patagonia.
And regarding ski mountaineering, I skied down Mount Illimani and Huayna Potosí in Bolivia, and Cerro Castillo, Morado Norte and Sur in Chile.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
