Lonquimay Volcano is an absolute gem of the Malalcahuello region, providing an unmatched climbing experience with accessible routes that showcase the breathtaking beauty of the Chilean winter landscapes. Prepare to climb this iconic cone-shaped volcano nestled in the beautiful forested landscape of the Malalcahuello National Reserve.

We'll meet at Malalcahuello mountain village, a charming rural settlement near the Malalcahuello National Reserve. From here, we'll make our way to the base of the majestic volcano. Once we arrive, we'll embark on an exhilarating hike towards the summit.

About the guide

Mountain Guide

I'm a mountain person since the very first time I went to them, this around 12 years ago now. From that time I have been always hiking, climbing and skiing in Chile, but also around the world.

I started guiding around 10 years ago: a few Hikes first, then some big mountains in the northern part of Chile, then Patagonia and now in the Araucanía region. But still, I move from north to South in Chile, wherever my clients would love to go.

If you are looking for a professional and responsible guide who will adapt to your requirements please contact me, it will be a pleasure to make a trip where you can get to that objective, but through the process learn more about the place, its culture and environment.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
