At the time, reaching the area was slow and difficult, and reliable information was scarce. It was a genuine adventure—one we undertook decades ago—that remains deeply close to our hearts to this day.
ChileMontaña was created and is run by its founders, mountain guides driven by a deep passion for nature and shaped by years of professional and climbing experience around the world.
