Description

Are you looking for an awesome mountaineering trip in the Andes? Then follow me on this 3-day winter ascent to the top of Cerro Pantojo (2,024m)!

Cerro Pantojo, or Pantoja, is an extinct basaltic stratovolcano on the border between Argentina and Chile, about 350kms from the city of Pucón. It stands immediately south of one of the most important international passes between these countries: Cardenal Samoré. In addition, it is part of two National Parks: Puyehue in Chile, and Nahuel Huapi in Argentina.

On this 3-day winter mountaineering tour, we will explore a varied terrain combining, forests, lava basins, and glacial stages. From the spire-shaped summit of Pantojo, known by the locals as “God’s Finger”, we will enjoy panoramic views of the Andes!

In order to go over some parts of the route, we’ll need to use ice climbing equipment. Therefore, please keep in mind that this trip requires a good fitness level and at least an intermediate mountaineering level.

So, would you like to climb an impressive peak in the Andes? Then what are you waiting for? Just contact me and let me guide you to the summit of Cerro Pantojo!

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!

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.

Great guide. Picked a well-rounded spot for a new group, with numerous options. Understanding of our lack of time at altitude. Great guy.

Excellent day at Portillo with Cristobal. He gave us several options in a planning session the night before. He also communicated well on the day of about current conditions and what we were seeing. We ended up doing a secondary objective due to what we saw in the field.
