Some of the most important advantages that low season can give you are: amazing colors, no insects nor wind, almost no tourists around, no dust on the roads and finally considerably lower rates. It’s also the best time for photography (light & colors), Navigation is also better no winds means no waves on the lakes and overflights have much less turbulence as well.

20 days / 19 nights “SAN VALENTIN” (4.058 m) (EXP 05):
PRIVATE DEPARTURES: Upon request

      Mount San Valentin (4058m) is the highest peak of Patagonia. Its location in the middle of the Northern Patagonian Icefield makes it the most attractive climb and a unique experience. This expedition is the maximum challenge of our actual catalogue and is only available for experienced mountaineers. Mental discipline is one of the most important skills in this kind of expeditions as weather conditions often oblige the party to spend several days stuck in a tent.
       We offer this climb with the support of snowshoes and sleds. During the 1999-2000 season, AZIMUT 360 team opened a new and very interesting itinerary for the climb of this mountain, starting from Lago Leones instead of Laguna San Rafael (historical route). Since then, AZIMUT 360 has been the only Chilean company to offer and success a commercial expedition on that climb. Our own mountaineering and trekking lodge, Terra Luna, and its staff in Puerto Guadal stay in permanent VHF radio contact with the expedition, representing a  huge logistical and security support to any expedition. This route is entirely recorded in our GPS. Our campsites benefit from extraordinary views and are restocked as often as possible by expedition and/or plane deposits.
