Tackle a demanding route during this 14-day expedition located in the Chilean Andes! I will guide you to the summits of two impressive high altitude peaks during this challenging mountaineering program.
Marmelejo is the southernmost 6,000 m peak in the world, and one of the two targets of this trip. After more than a week of of climbing, we will stand on its 6,108 m summit, having already reached the crater summit of its neighboring volcano, the 5,856 m San Jose. It will be a fantastic experience for all highly experienced mountaineers who want a rewarding experience at altitude. Additionally, this is the perfect trip for those who have their eyes on an even higher prize, such as Aconcagua.
I offer this trip beginning and ending in Santiago. I will even pick you up and drop you off at the airport to make your travel logistics easier. We will set up camps along the route to allow for acclimatization – a day-by-day description of the itinerary is included below. Participants must be advanced mountaineers with a high fitness level who are able to carry heavy loads and assist in setting up camps.
