Description

There is an abundance of spectacular volcanoes in beautiful southern Chile, and on this 12 day ski touring adventure, I would like to take you to the summits of a number of them.

On this amazing trip, you will get to climb to the top of and ski down no less than 6 incredible volcanoes!

Those volcanoes are as follows.

Casablanca volcano
Mocho volcano
Villarica volcano
Llaima volcano
Osorno volcano
Lonquimay Volcano

You can be assured that each volcano provides an experience as unique as the volcano itself. Furthermore, you will be spending anywhere from 5 to 10 hours on each peak. Hence giving you plenty of time to appreciate the beauty on the way up and the thrill of the ride on the descend back down.

Along with visiting the volcanoes, you will also get to visit and spend a day and night in a number of beautiful towns in the southern region of Chile. Those towns include Temuco, Pucón and Puerto Varas. Each town will grant you access to the area’s lovely people, culture and cuisine. Moreover, you will also get to relax your tired muscles in a number of wonderful hot springs, including Puyehue.

While the focus of this trip is climbing up and skiing down volcanoes, there is so much more to it. On this trip you will get to admire and appreciate the gorgeous region that is southern Chile. So send me a request, and let the adventure begin.

What people are saying about Carlos

Inge

Happy for the second time, going mountain climbing with you! Thank you and see you 😉

George

We had a fantastic trip with Carlos as our guide. We were able to summit Mont Blanc with Carlos’ guidance and couldn’t have asked for more. There were some adverse weather conditions on the final day of our trip and so Carlos changed the refuge bookings to allow us to descend safely albeit with a long summit day. Explore-Share were great throughout with communications and Nico in particular was very helpful. Would definitely recommend but make sure to come prepared as it is a very tough climb!

Kornel

On 2 July, Carlos and I climbed Mont Blanc. We had a friendly atmosphere throughout the tour. Thanks to Carlos's professionalism and knowledge of the area, i felt completely safe all the time. Thanks Carlos :-)

Arnout

Although we weren’t able to make it to the top due to a last minute weather change, we truly enjoyed the expedition and Carlos as a guide! We will be trying again next year 😁
