Maipo Volcano 5-Day Guided Expedition

Tomas, a EPGAMT certified mountain guide and AAGM member, wants to guide you on an unforgettable 5-Day expedition up the amazing Maipo Volcano.

Andes

5 Days

Jan - Mar, Nov, Dec

Description

Let me take you on an expedition to the top of the Maipo Volcano (5,323m).

Located in the Central Andes. It is close to the city of Mendoza.

Fire and water come together in an incredible vision at the peak of this beautiful volcano. From the perfect cone, you will be able to see the Maipo Volcano's reflection in a mirror of turquoise water that is the Laguna Diamante.

In yet another example of nature's ability to paint a dazzling picture, I promise you that this image will stay with you forever.

We will undergo the 5-day trek that will both challenge and thrill you. Starting in Mendoza, we will go to the base camp at Laguna Del Diamante. After that we will make our way through two different camps on our way to the top of the volcano.

While a challenging, rigorous expedition, scaling the Maipo Volcano will be well worth it. I will guide you safely to the summit, where just like you, I will marvel at the beauty.

There is something magical about volcanoes, something primal, something forbidden. Hence the incredible feeling you will have after reaching the peak. So allow me to guide you to that peak and guide you to that feeling. Join me me on this unforgettable journey up the Maipo Volcano.

I will be waiting for your message.

Also, if you have a love for volcanoes, and find yourself in my native Patagonia, join me on this trip.

About the guide

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.
