Description

Would you like to enjoy a multi-day adventure in the Andes? Then join me on a thrilling 12-day program to 3 stunning Chilean summits: El Plomo, Marmolejo and San José.

At 5,434 m, El Plomo is the largest peak that you can see from Santiago. Marmolejo, at 6,108 m, is higher, but further south, and will be the second peak we climb on this adventure. Just 9km away is our third summit, the San José volcano, which boasts an altitude of 5,856 m. On this adventure, we will get to explore each of these beautiful mountains in Chile.

Each peak will take us approximately 3 days to climb. It will be a big challenge that will put our skills to test. Tackling these three Andean giants will require you to have some mountaineering experience and a good fitness level. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you on the way and we will have some extra days scheduled into the program in case we face any delays. You can find a detailed outline of the itinerary below.

So, are you ready for an unforgettable adventure in the Chilean Andes? Then book your place now and start planning your mountaineering trip to the top of El Plomo, Marmolejo and San Jose!

You can also join me on this amazing 12-day expedition to the summit of Ojos del Salado!

Aspirant Guide

I am an aspirant IFMGA mountain guide, with extensive experience in Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Perú and Ecuador.

I live in Patagonia, in Villa Cerro Castillo, South of Chile, an incredible place with mountains and climbing opportunities everywhere - with many hidden spots yet to explore. I do a lot of guiding in South America´s High Mountains, techical ones, and in Patagonia too.

I also offer rock climbing and mountainering courses in different locations in Chile and in my city. During my tours, I try to create the best experience for my clients, and like to teach them about the cultural and environmental importance of the places we visit.

What people are saying about Nicolás

Marcel

I climbed with Nicolás for two days in Coyhaique (crack climbing on Salto Chico and a multi-pitch on Cerro Mackay) and had a great time. Nicolás is a very nice and friendly guy and absolutely professional as a mountain guide. Totally recommended, and hopefully I‘ll get the chance to do some more climbing with Nicolás.

Highly recommend!

My guide Angela was great. Her experience and expertise helped me make the climb of a lifetime. My safety and well-being were her first and foremost concern.
