Conquer the Iconic Cerro Colorado: A Climber’s Paradise in the Heart of Patagonia
Step into the wild beauty of the Aysén region and ascend Cerro Colorado, known as Apidame in the native Tehuelche language. This awe-inspiring mountain rises like a fiery crown from the Chilean steppe, its towering red basalt columns creating a striking contrast against the vast Patagonian landscape. Located just a short distance from the charming town of Chile Chico, Cerro Colorado is a climber’s dream and a feast for the eyes.
All-Inclusive 5-Day Expedition
This unforgettable expedition begins in Villa Cerro Castillo, where we’ll set the stage for an adventure of a lifetime. Over two scenic travel days, you’ll journey through Patagonia’s rugged wilderness, including a breathtaking ferry ride across Lago General Carrera, Chile’s largest and most stunning lake. For three incredible days, you’ll climb multi-pitch routes on perfect cracks, chimneys, and dihedrals carved into the dramatic basalt columns. The approach to base camp is a gentle 3-hour trek through easy terrain, allowing you to soak in the raw beauty of the Patagonian steppe. Each climb offers unparalleled views of the surrounding landscape, where guanacos roam freely, condors soar overhead, and foxes dart through the brush. Interact with local communities and experience the warmth and traditions of rural Patagonia. Spend a night in the picturesque town of Chile Chico before venturing back to Villa Cerro Castillo.
This journey isn't for the average climber—it's designed for true adventurers at heart. Whether you're an experienced climber or eager to push beyond your limits, this expedition promises an unforgettable mix of thrill and tranquility. Embrace the challenge of climbing in traditional style on pristine rock, all while immersed in the untouched beauty of one of the planet's most remote and awe-inspiring landscapes.
