Description

Extensive and magical, exciting and challenging, you will never forget this eleven day splitboarding adventure amidst the volcanoes of Patagonia.

During this incredible adventure, you will see a great deal of what makes Patagonia so special. From its assortment of volcanoes and towns, to its people and food, don’t be surprised if you immediately want to return after you have left.

The trip will begin with a day and night in the beautiful city of Bariloche in Argentina. There, we will perform an equipment check and introductions. On the following day, we will cross the border into Chile and go to Puyehue. From this point we will be visiting several beautiful volcanoes over the next few days, while staying in different refuges and cabins. Those volcanoes, which you will get to ascend and descend, include Casa Blanca (1,990m), Villarrica (2,840m), Llaima (3,125m) and Lonquimay (2,890m). We will also be stopping in lovely places like Pucon and Malacahuello during this period as well.

At this point, if you would like, the trip can end on the ninth day, and we can return to Bariloche. However, if you want to enjoy even more splitboarding, we can also spend two more days enjoying the Copahue volcano (2,297m). Thus ending the trip at eleven days. The choice is entirely up to you.

To splitboard on five different volcanoes in Patagonia is a dream come true for many people. And if that dream is yours, too, I would be happy to help make it come true. Just send me a request. I look forward to hearing from you.

Do you only have a week in Patagonia? Then join me on this 7 day splitboarding adventure.

Mountain Guide

Mountain Guide - EPGAMT - Argentina
I was born in Patagonia, Argentina and formed at an early age as a climber in the Nahuel Huapi National Park. Currently I completed a large number of rock and ice climbing routes, backcountry skiing and ascents in many mountains around the world such as Mt. Lhotse (8.516 mts.), the 4th highest peak in the world, without using supplemental oxygen (May, 2012).
I'm a certified Mountain Guide from the EPGAMT and a member of the Argentinian Mountain Guides Association (AAGM) and work on Mt. Aconcagua, which I had repeatedly ascended, as well as in other peaks in the Central Andes, Patagonia, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and in The Himalayas in Nepal.
During the winter season, I practice backcountry skiing, mostly on the volcanoes in Patagonia, where I can offer you different adventures, according to your level (beginner, learner or advanced learner).
I feel very privileged to work as a mountain guide, to do the job that I love, and to be able to share it with people that have the same passion.
Join my expeditions and I will provide you a high standard of safety and personal attention!

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
