Andes

6 Days

Jan - Apr, Oct - Dec

Description

Join me on a 6-day expedition to the peak of the Domuyo Volcano (4,709m).

Located in the province of Neuquen, the Domuyo Volcano is the highest mountain in Patagonia. Thus earning the name, Roof of Patagonia. Because of the vast volcanic landscape, you will see hot springs. You will see geysers. You will even see glaciers.

This adventure will be a great introduction to high altitude climbing. It will also be a challenge. But like any challenge, the harder it is, the greater the reward. And at the peak of the Domuyo Volcano, the reward is incredible.

The expedition will begin in Andacollo. From there we will proceed to the Punta de Camino, where the ascent starts. After that it's on to Camps 1 and 2 before reaching the peak of the volcano. After basking in the glory of the summit, we will make our way back down to the Punta De Camino, before returning to Andacollo.

Few things in the world can exceed the beauty and wonder of a volcano. The Domuyo Volcano is no exception. Its altitude may intimidate you, but the prizes offered at the top will truly stimulate you. So come with me. Let me safely guide you to the top of Patagonia's roof.

I will be waiting for your message.

And if you are interested in another expedition up another one of the country's beautiful volcanoes, you can also join me on this trip.

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.

Joshua

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.
