Description

Cerro Torre and its 3.133 meters are unmistakable in the eyes of any mountaineer.

The Cerro Torre is located in the East of the South Patagonia Ice Field, just in the border between Argentina and Chile. Los Glaciares Nationa Park and the Patagonian Ice Field are two of the best places of the world for ice mountaineering.

And that’s what I offering you: a 3-day trip hiking on glacial soil. By the end of the trip we will reach to Fitz Roy Massif and Cerro Torre.

If you want to be part of the team I’m going to lead, you need:

Know how to use crampons
Previous experience
You will also need good physical shape

This 3-day expedition to Cerro Torre starts in El Chaltén, Santa Cruz province. Here you have the complete itinerary:

DAY 1: STARTING POIN EL CHALTEN – NIPONINO

Once we have our equipment checked we’ll move towards the trail-head and walk for more than 2 hours up to Fitz Roy River. We will cross it by a zip line. And here comes a moraine and forest land until we put our crampons on and start hiking through pure glacier.

By the end of the day, we’ll be finally in our first base camp known as Niponino, where we will dinner and spend the night.

DAY 2: CERRO TORRE BASE CAMP

A magic day of hike among the two giants: on the left Cerro Torre, on the right Mount Fitz Roy. Wherever you look, you will find an ice wall. This day will consists in 5-to-7 hours of intense walk up to the base camp of Cerro Torre.

DAY 3: NIPONINO- BACK TO EL CHALTEN.

Last day of this amazing trip. We’ll disarm our camp and start the return to El Chalten. The way back is really nice. We will hike through the Grande Glacier until we are in the city of El Chaltén.

I can ensure it is one of the best Patagonian hikes. Now, you have the chance of fulfilling a great goal with the help of a certified mountain guide.

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.
