Description

Would you like to hike up to the top of Cerro Chapelco, in the beautiful south of Argentina? Then, join me in this 1-day program in the amazing Patagonia!

Cerro Chapelco (1980 m) is a mountain within the Chapelco Range. It's located at the south of the popular ski station of the same name, in the surroundings of San Martin de los Andes. This is a small and charming village. Also, one of the favourite tourist destinations in the country.

The ascent of Cerro Chapelco will take us from 8 to 10 hours. We'll start hiking through forests of lenga. This is an autochthonous species spread in all the Patagonia. If you come in autumn, you'll see their beauty at their best. Their leaves turn to yellow, orange and red and then fall to the ground.

As we start hiking, we'll get to a pass that separates two valleys. Once there, we'll reach the foot of a snow couloir (in winter), by which we'll ascend. The terrain becomes easier after this point. Then, we'll have a great panoramic view, with all the splendor of mountains such as Cerro Tronador, Volcano Lanin and Volcano Mocho, among others.

So if you're ready for a hiking adventure in Cerro Chapelco, contact me and let's start planning! I also offer a 4-day hike to Bariloche's beautiful lakes. Check it out!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.
