Cajon del Maipo, Chile, 2 Day Guided Mountaineering

The Cajon del Maipo in the Andes of Chile is a beautiful place that is full of extravagant views.

On this 2 day mountaineering trip, my goal is help you see the absolute best of the Cajon del Maipo. In order to do that we will do some climbing. However, the climbs won’t be very technical and no acclimatization will be necessary. As a result, this trip is open to people of various climbing levels. But you should be able to climb at a basic level and know how to properly use crampons and an ice axe.

The trip will begin with a drive from Santiago de Chile to Lo Valdes. Once there, we will take a 3-4 hour approach to the base camp of the Diente del Diablo (3,943m). For the rest of the day, and the day after we will do some exciting climbing and scrambling that will definitely prove enjoyable. The higher we go on this trip, the more of the Cajon del Maipo you will be able to see. You will be able to gaze at various streams like Coyanco, San Gabriel, Manzanito, San Jose, and many more. You will also be able to see a number of beautiful rivers as well, including the El Volcan river, the Yeso river and the Colorado river. However, the real treat will be the peaks you will get to view. Just a few examples of the glorious peaks you will get to lay eyes on include Maipo (5,264m), San Jose (5,856m) and Marmolejo (6,108m).
