Would you like to enjoy a stunning hiking expedition in Patagonia? Come to El Chalten and join me to explore the Huemul Circuit on this 4-day trip!
El Chalten is a beautiful village in the Argentinean Patagonia, in the Santa Cruz Province. Surrounded by impressive peaks and deep-blue glacial lakes, this area is known as Argentina’s trekking capital.
The Huemul Circuit starts near El Chalten town and traverses around Mount Huemul. It is one of the most popular treks in the región. On this hiking adventure, we will cross different types of terrains -snow, glaciers and moraines- with a rich and varied flora and fauna!
With elevations ranging from 800 to 1600 mts, this unique route will take us to amazing spots such as the Paso de los Vientos hut and Bahia de los Tempanos. For more information, you can check the complete itinerary below.
Please note that for this tour you need a good fitness level. No previous hiking experience is required, but you should be prepared for long hiking days (5 to 8 hours) carrying your backpack (you can hire porters).
So, if you are up for an unforgettable hiking adventure in El Chalten, Argentina, please contact me. Let’s try the Huemul Circuit and explore a scenic area in Patagonia!
I can also take you to Paso del Vent, another Patagonia highlight, starting from El Chalten. Check it out here.

AAGM Mountain Guide from Argentina.
I´ve climbed all along Patagonia, reaching summits such as Cerro Torre, Cerro Fitz Roy, and it’s range. As sport climber I also faced challenges in different spots in Europe and USA.
After many years guiding, I also handle the logistic of the expeditions, and I like to give the best services to the people I guide.
I live and guide mostly in El Chaltén area, and I know every corner of the National Park. I like to plan every detail of the expeditions, and to propose customized programs according to the request and needs of each client.

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.
