Highlights

Climb a beautiful and remote 5000m peak in the Andes.
Enjoy an exhilarating 4-day mountaineering tour starting from Santiago.
Let a certified, local guide show you the way to a beautiful summit.

Description

At 5240 m, Cerro Gemelos is one of several peaks joined by a sharp ridge in the Chilean and Argentinean Andes. On this 4-day ascent, we will approach it from the Chilean side.

We will begin and end the tour in Santiago de Chile. From there, we will access Gemelos via the cajón de Navarro canyon, which provides easy access due to the old trails that were used by plaster manufacturers in the region. We will find stunning seracs and glaciated terrain on the way to the summit and enjoy truly stunning Andean views.

In order to join this program, you must have prior mountaineering experience and an excellent fitness level. It involves technical climbing skills and is not for beginners. You will have personalized guiding every step of the way and we will enjoy the wonderful rewards that Gemelos has for climbers when we reach its top.

Contact me today to begin organizing this wild and wonderful adventure in the Chilean Andes. I look forward to guiding you!

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.
