Description

I am happy to offer this winter ascent to the summit of Puntiagudo Volcano. It's 2498 meters high and lies in Los Lagos Region, in the heart of the Chilean Andes Mountains.

The Puntiagudo Volcano is also known as the Tripaicura, which means "the stone that went out” in the mapuche language. Moreover, it is a very aesthetic mountain with a sharp tip and amazing vertical walls.

On the way up to Puntiagudo, we must cross an impressive Alerces' forest which ends up with the beautiful snow mushrooms of its summit. Without a doubt, it will be an amazing 3-day ascent!

Come with me and let's share the wild beauty of Chile and its world-class terrain. I will guide a small group in order to offer a custom adventure. If I am not available at the time of your arrival, my brother Juan will lead the ascent.

If you find this mountaineering trip interesting please fill out the form. Contact me now and make your reservation. I am sure you'll fall in love with this Chilean volcano!

In addition, you can take a look at this climbing program that I lead to Colmillo del Diablo Volcano.

Mountain Guide

IFMGA/UIAGM Mountain Guide from Chile

I was born in 1990, and I always been surrounded by mountains, with family and friends in the Andes.

I did the first Chilean ascent to Cerro Torre via Ferrari route, four ascents to Mt, Fitz Roy, more than 12 to Torres del Paine and the first alpine traverse of the three towers.

I also climbed in the Himalayas, Yosemite, and other Andean countries such as Argentina, Bolivia and Peru.

I did the IFMGA/UIAGM aspirant course in 2017 in Bolivia, and completed the AIARE level 2 avalanche training.

I work together with my brother Juan (we are the Señoret Brothers). Contact me if you want to discover the most beautiful mountain spots in Chile!

I had been guided on this tour in the beginning of September for 3 days, one in the backcountry off Valley Nevado, one touring from La Parva base, and for the last we drove to Portillo. Weather was perfect even last significant snowfall was more than 2 weeks back. Being in Chile for the first time and in opposite season, my goal was to get ready for the winter, gain new skills and absorb the culture. The experience started with Explore-Share, who matched me with the guide even the tour was shown as not available for the dates I selected, and guide still accepted. I then hesitated to commit but all my doubts were cleared through communication. Kudos to Explore-Share. In my case, two guides had collaborated in background addressing my pre-trip needs, where I did not want to fly my skis and needed to select the best logging, which did help to get the best experience. All further uncertainties were cleared the day before the start, when my guide went an extra mile trying to select the best ski for me. I had a rental car and stayed in Farellones, and in short, the two first day’s tours met and exceeded my expectations. We ski toured, boot packed with crampons, and mountaineered (using Ice axes) to beautiful places, and of course skied off-piste. I had been pushed to but not over my limits. The pretty part of the private tour is that the guide had always adjusted to my desires, even not expressed explicitly, while selecting the best places to go, so each day ended up with a cheer. Conditions were good overall, even mostly packed snow at the attitude and spring conditions at the bottom. The last day was special as we decided to drive 3 hours to Portillo, and I would advise everybody to not limit themselves to Tres Valles. Portillo, as a premium and historic resort, with unique views and lifts, bring a possibility to ski steeps in a relatively safe manner, and with my guide, who also happened to be a staffer there, we had great time. Therefore, a superb experience overall. Thanks for organizing.

Everything was great- we lucked out and had good snow!

Cristobel was a very knowledgeable guide and he provided a good level of encouragement to push me through hard sections of climbing rather than letting me give up. Unfortunately, my original guide for two days of climbing was unable to make it and so I was rebooked for 1 day of climbing with Cristobel. What was upsetting about this was that it was more expensive to complete 1 day of climbing compared to the two days I was originally booked in for. I ended up having to pay more money for half the climbing. I think Explore-Share could improve by having a more consistent price structure for the guides, or at least being clear about why one guide is more expensive.
