Description
Enjoy a unique trek in Chile and Bolivia in the border area between these two countries. Discover the fantastic natural phenomena that are constant in this region on this 14-day private trip.
In Chile, we’ll visit Santiago de Chile, the capital city of the country and San Pedro de Atacama, an incredible city located in the Andean mountain range. There, participants will have the chance to discover the Atacama Desert and the amazing variety of natural phenomena, such as volcanoes, geysers, salt flats, and thermal waters. During the nights, we’ll see the most outstanding skies.
In Bolivia, participants will have the opportunity to get to the top of the Licancabur Volcano. This is a stratovolcano located in the border area between Bolivia and Chile, near the Laguna Verde, which we’ll also visit. It has an altitude of 5,916 meters and its ascent is not challenging, although it requires a good physical condition. From the top of the volcano, we’ll contemplate the most incredible view.

Mountain Guide
IFMGA/UIAGM mountain guide
I come from Marseille and I found my passion for mountaineering very early, climbing Les Calanques, some mountains in the Verdon region and in the Alps. I got my IFMGA (mountain guide) certificate in 1983 and my ski instructor license in 1985.
I brought my clients on many summits of the Alps and went abroad to discover the world. I went skiing, climbing, mountaineering… in Morocco, Norway, Algeria (Hoggar), Yosemite (El Capitan) and Nepal. I discovered this passion for travelling and started to organize my first trips with my clients. In the late 80’, I went to the Annapurna Sanctuary and I did several ascents in Peru (Pisco, Yanapatcha and Huascaran). In the 90’, I did several trips in Nepal (Helambu, Langtang…).
I then kept on and further explored the world with my clients: Rolwaling traverse (Perchamo, Mera Peak Mingbo La), the summits of Yala Peak and the Yana Kanga, Patagonia (in Argentina), Manaslu tour in Nepal, Meso Kanto La, Mustang, Atacama desert in chili and many others.
I like bringing my clients mountaineering in summer and ski touring / heliskiing in winter.
Get in touch with me and let's discuss about your next guiding tour !

Hervé est fort à l'écoute de son client, il cerne très bien les attentes et les envies. Il est aussi très rassurant et porte une attention particulière au bien-être de chacun. Il a beaucoup d'expérience, on sent qu'il connaît bien la montagne et il est prudent. Enfin, il est discret et sympatique. Je le recommande vivement !
