9 Days

Description

I am proposing a 9-day ascent expedition to the San José summit. A prudent time to get well acclimatized and enjoy the Central Andes’ beauties.

The San José is a 5821-meter-high volcano lying just in the Chilean-Argentinean border. It is a millenarian volcano which currently contains superposed craters and volcanic lava flows. Despite of that, this volcano only erupted in the 19th and 20th centuries. That makes it a really enjoyable ascent.

The reasons why I’d like to guide you there are the following ones:

  • You will be part of a real challenge in the heart of the Central Andes;

  • We’ll walk across a stunning Andean landscape;

  • There will be the best panoramic views of all the surrounding peaks over 6000 meters of height.

I recommend to do this climbing trip from November to March. The spring and summer times are the most suitable for a nice experience in the Central Andes.

I can take with me a group of 6 to 12 guests. I have some open groups for next departures that you can join if you are alone. All participants must have an excellent fitness level. Keep in mind that the high altitude and its temperatures can turn this trip into a demanding one.

So, if you want to join me for a unique climbing expedition to this rarely visited area of the Central Andes, please contact me! Fill out the form and I will answer you as soon as possible.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

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.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard
