In order to climb the Ojos del Salado, proper acclimatization is essential. As a result, you will be climbing 4 amazing peaks before the big climb. Those 4 peaks are the Redondo Colorado (4,180m), Mount Piedra Pomez (4,880m), the Mulas Muertas north shoulder and Mount San Francisco (6,045m). Each one of these climbs is exciting and offers some fantastic views of the Chilean Andes.
The trip will begin at the Copiapo airport, where we will pick you up and transfer you to the beautiful village of Caldera. In the village you will get to enjoy some local cuisine, while spending time with its wonderful inhabitants. After that, we will make our way to Santa Rosa Lake (3,700m). From there, we will spend the next few days enjoying our acclimatization climbs. During the climbs, you will be staying at a campsite at Rio Lamas as well as the Murray Hut.
The next portion of the trip will have us going to the Ojos del Salado base camp, where we will spend a few days before making our way to the incredible summit. After the summit climb, we will return to Caldera, and the following day you will take a transfer to the Copiapo airport.
Scaling a mountain with the magnitude of the Ojos del Salado is an amazing opportunity. And for 14 days, I would like to make that opportunity a reality. So if you have some prior experience and are in good physical condition, send me a request, and let the adventure begin!

I try to do things differently, I do not like boxes. I have lived in the corporate world, in a caravan, working as an au pair, a frustrated travel photographer and a Spanish teacher in Denmark. Travel backpacking from Spain to Vietnam for a year and travel the length of Chile on my mountain bike.
Always in love with travel, I have been working for the outdoor industry since 2008 traveling the world in more than 30 countries. I love to guide and share my experience and mountaineering skills with other lovers of remote and isolated destinations, far from crowded mountaineering centers. When I'm not working or in the mountains you can find me playing the Spanish guitar sitting on the porch of my house sharing the sunset with my lovely girlfriend.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
