OUr guides will provide the crampons and other equipment you will need to reach the summit. We will encounter inclinations and slopes of up to 50º on parts of our climb.

Upon reaching the summit, we will have beautiful views of the surrounding Andes Mountains and the settlements dotted around the shore line of 320 square mile Lake Llanquihue.  We will eat our picnic lunch surrounded by the splendor of the Patagonian Andes.  Our descent, once we have experienced and photographed the vista from the summit, will take approximately 2 1/2 hours.
