Description

Would you like to discover one of the best mountain ascents in the Central Andes? Then join this amazing 4-day San Jose volcano ascent in Chile!

The San Jose volcano is located at an altitude of 5856 m. (19212 ft.) in the Central Andes in Chile. It is known as the silent giant and is the highest southernmost volcano in the stunning Andes range. Boasting stunning views of other amazing mountains in the region such as Aconcagua, Marmolejo, Cerro Plomo, Paloma and others, climbing this stunning peak is a rewarding challenge that also serves as a great acclimatization trek for those that also wish to climb Aconcagua.

On this 4-day adventure, we will get to climb to the top of this amazing mountain.  We will set off first to Plantat hut, and then progressively climb the San Jose volcano until we reach the summit on the third day of our trek. Finally, we will return our starting point.

So, are you ready to discover an amazing mountain in the Central Andes? Then book your place now and join me on a 4-day climb of San Jose volcano!

I also offer a unique 12-day Patagonia volcanoes ski mountaineering tour!

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

Our first time with Explore-Share. An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Extremely good value, very well organised with attention to detail. We travel widely and this has by far been the best of experiences. Well done to all concerned. We are already looking at booking another trip!
