Description

Ready to explore the Chilean Patagonia? Then follow me on a fantastic adventure to the stunning Mocho Volcano at an altitude of 2,242 meters above sea level in the Los Ríos region.

Going up the remarkable Mocho Volcano is the perfect way to enjoy the Chilean summer. Mocho is the Spanish word for blunt, a quite appropriate name for this volcano due to its flat, conical shape. This peak is also surrounded by volcanic stones, and shares its volcanic structure with its twin volcano, the Choshuenco Volcano.

One of this volcano’s most stunning features is the glacier you’ll find at the top. Furthermore, the views are simply breathtaking. You’ll get to see Huilo Huilo, the Lanín and Villarica Volcanoes, and the Panguipulli and Piriheico Lakes. During the winter, this is also a great spot for skiing.

The ascent will take us one whole day. The path to the peak has some beautiful forests and we might also run into some snow or ice due to the altitude. Additionally, we might also see some of the local wildlife, including woodpeckers, condors, eagles, wild boars, pumas and deer.

So, are you ready for a unique Chilean adventure? Then send your request. I guarantee you’ll love climbing the Mocho Volcano!

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.
