Description
Welcome to one of the most surreal landscapes in Córdoba. Far from the classic green hills, the Los Gigantes Massif is a 600-million-year-old granite maze, with dramatic rock formations that feel almost otherworldly.
On this 3-day private trekking expedition, you won’t just hike, you’ll truly explore. We’ll walk through hidden caves, cross unique rocky valleys, and climb Cerro Mogote, the highest point of Los Gigantes at 2,374 meters above sea level. Logistics and safety are handled by the guide, so you can focus on enjoying the mountains and disconnecting from the city.
This is not an urban walk. The uneven rocky terrain, elevation gain, and natural environment make the experience physically demanding, especially on the longest day.
Accommodation is in mountain tents, with the option to stay in a mountain refuge for an additional cost. The refuge offers a warm indoor space, beds, bathrooms with hot water, and basic WiFi.
Far from conventional tourism, this trip gives you access to a unique natural environment that can only be reached on foot.
Join this private Los Gigantes trekking adventure and discover one of Córdoba’s most striking mountain landscapes with an experienced guide.

About the guide

Mountain Guide
Mountaineering and climbing are the essence of my daily activities, I practice them, study them, design training and accompany those who have the motivation to experience and perfect them. I have been working in Los Glaciares National Park since 2013. I also work in the Central Andes, and as an climbing instructor for several clubs and associations. I climbed in the central Andes of Argentina, in Patagonia Argentina, in Brazil, in Chile and in France. I achieved significant achievements in the sport and alpine climbing in Argentina as ascents of several needles of Patagonia Argentina including Cerro Fitz Roy.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
