Chile Climbing & Mountaineering

Climbing and Mountaineering in Chile

Chile is an excellent mountaineering country, offering remote climbing among some of the Andes’ highest peaks.

The central, southern and Patagonia Andes all present different challenges to mountaineers and trekkers.

Marmolejo is the world’s most southerly 6,000m+ (19,695ft) peak, Tupangato a rarely climbed 6,500m+ (21,325ft) peak.

And then you have Ojos Del Salado – a mighty 6,893m/22,615ft and just a whisker lower than Aconcagua.

The landscapes in Southern Chile and Argentina are AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL.

Testimonials

Amy C., Mountain Bike Chilean Lakes, Oct 24

We had a wonderful time, I personally loved the two places that we stayed Zapato Amarillo and the hostal in Pucón

The guides were wonderful. In terms of day trips, the first day was the most incredible. Thank you for everything!!!

We would love to come back and the do the W route. We had a wonderful trip

Thank you so very very much.

Leanne S, Paine W self-guided and Fitzroy tailor made, Oct 2024 Hi Kathy

My trip was incredible!!

I’ve been meaning to message you to say a massive thankyou. Everything organised by Andean Trails ran extremely smoothly with no issues. I wasn’t sure where to pick up one of my bus tickets and contacted your local staff directly on WhatsApp and they dropped the bus ticket off directly to my hotel!

All the hotels you selected and the day tours were of a high standard. I actually met a guy in Santiago who had also used Andean Trails to organise some of his trip and he was also impressed.

If I had to choose any highlights it was the Perito Moreno Glacier trip and W trek both of which you organised.

I would rate everything highly and wouldn’t do anything different next time. I chose the places I did because they were places I wanted to visit following my first trip to South America in 2002. And I chose Andean Trails because I wanted to organise everything in advance with a UK company, given I had time pressures for my trip. After contacting 3 different companies, you were the one that was the most reasonably priced with availability for the W trek on the dates I wanted. Also when you called you were friendly and communicative throughout the planning process.

I would use Andean Trails again if I ever return to South America.

I’ll send through a couple of photos!

Thankyou.
