Welcome to an amazing mountaineering tour. During these 3 days I'll guide you to the summit of Cerro Pantojo.
Cerro Pantojo is located on the Argentinian border near the Cardenal Samoré Pass. It is one of the most important international passes between Argentina and Chile. From the Chilean side, the mountain belongs to the Puyehue National Park. On the Argentine side, it is part of the Nahuel Huapi National Park.
Corresponding to the remains of a Pleistocene volcano, Cerro Pantojo has a main ascent route, which runs through the central gutter of the southwest face of its main tower.
Cerro Pantojo is clearly visible from the road once we cross the pass. That route connects the cities of Osorno (Chile) and San Carlos de Bariloche (Argentina).
The approach to this impressive tower can be done by car and it is really beautiful. Then a great alpine climbing terrain waits for us. We may have to overcome a demanding cross between lenga forests and lava basins.
I will guide a small group of people so I can offer you a personalized trip. Moreover, if I am not available at the time of your arrival my brother Juan will take my place.
Please fill out the form if you want to start the booking process. It'll be my pleasure to help you conquer the Cerro Pantojo's summit!

Mountain Guide
IFMGA/UIAGM Mountain Guide from Chile
I was born in 1990, and I always been surrounded by mountains, with family and friends in the Andes.
I did the first Chilean ascent to Cerro Torre via Ferrari route, four ascents to Mt, Fitz Roy, more than 12 to Torres del Paine and the first alpine traverse of the three towers.
I also climbed in the Himalayas, Yosemite, and other Andean countries such as Argentina, Bolivia and Peru.
I did the IFMGA/UIAGM aspirant course in 2017 in Bolivia, and completed the AIARE level 2 avalanche training.
I work together with my brother Juan (we are the Señoret Brothers). Contact me if you want to discover the most beautiful mountain spots in Chile!

Cristobel was a very knowledgeable guide and he provided a good level of encouragement to push me through hard sections of climbing rather than letting me give up. Unfortunately, my original guide for two days of climbing was unable to make it and so I was rebooked for 1 day of climbing with Cristobel. What was upsetting about this was that it was more expensive to complete 1 day of climbing compared to the two days I was originally booked in for. I ended up having to pay more money for half the climbing. I think Explore-Share could improve by having a more consistent price structure for the guides, or at least being clear about why one guide is more expensive.

Great guide. Picked a well-rounded spot for a new group, with numerous options. Understanding of our lack of time at altitude. Great guy.

Excellent day at Portillo with Cristobal. He gave us several options in a planning session the night before. He also communicated well on the day of about current conditions and what we were seeing. We ended up doing a secondary objective due to what we saw in the field.
