It is the responsibility of each participant to ensure that they have their own life and/or travel insurance for the remainder of their trip.
The prices of each program are presented in Chilean pesos (CLP, CH$) and correspond to the price per 1 person taxes included. All our programs have a maximum number of clients per guide (ratio) defined by our risk management guidelines, which directly affects the cost of the program. The cost of the program is calculated based on the guide rate per client/itinerary, and the costs associated with it, seeking that always the guide received the better rate for his work.
It is done through the website or by email (info@huellandina.com). We will confirm availability within 48 hours of receiving participant information. Payment of a non-refundable deposit per person is required to confirm the reservation (date and program). Reservations must be confirmed at least 30 days prior to the program start date.
Payment in Cash (only Dollars, Euros, or CLP), Credit Card, Online bank transfer (Chilean – CLP or Austrian – EUR Bank). If payment is made in foreign currency, the prices of the programs are based on the exchange rate set by HAE Ltda. at the time of payment. The total cost must be paid in full before the program start date. More information is available at https://staging.huellandina.com/en/payment-methods/.
For those who book the same program together, there is a discount of CLP $200,000 per person on the base rate for a group of 2 people, which is automatically applied when selecting the number of participants when making the reservation.
The idea is to be as flexible as possible, so both before and during the trip we can adjust the itinerary. Of course we depend on the availability of the different suppliers, so any modification will depend on their confirmation. But we can adjust the trip for example:
It is important to keep in mind that some of these changes may result in tariff variations, which will be duly informed.
Yes, the program is designed so that guides and clients start and finish the trip together. The idea is not only to accompany them to climb the volcanoes, but also to share our experience of the different places we will visit.
If for some reason that needs to change, we will let you know in a timely manner and together we will work out what best fits the trip.
The Teski and Nevados de Vilcún huts are mountain huts, with services such as electricity, shared rooms, shared bathrooms and showers, hot water, and meals. The Puyehue volcano hut is a simple hut, with no services or major infrastructure. The cabins in Anticura have two rooms, which share access to the bathroom/shower, equipped kitchen, electricity, hot water, and usually a double bed and 2 singles.
Teski has Wifi, bar and restaurant. It is also possible to request private rooms with or without WC. In Anticura it is possible to connect to internet from the restaurant, the cellular signal is weak, as in Nevados de Vilcún.
Because most of our trips are small groups, it will be just you or a couple of other people, we rent the car from the guide (or our family) to develop the program: A normal car, clean, in good condition and of course with all the required permits. For bigger groups, we hire a driver with a Mercedes Benz Sprinter Van or similar.
The guided ascent to the summit of the Osorno Volcano does not require any previous mountaineering or climbing experience, but a good physical condition for an activity of more than eight hours in alpine terrain.
The ascent requires the use of mountaineering and climbing techniques and equipment. It is a glacier route with a steep slope at the top, so it is necessary to use of a helmet, crampons, ice axe and glacier travel techniques. However, the characteristics of the route and the ascent with a ratio of 1 guide for up to 2 clients allows us to introduce the equipment and how to use it, to make a good supervision of the progress with the equipment and, above all, to adapt the pace of the ascent to make a climb not only safe but also enjoyable!
The program includes the technical equipment: crampons, helmet, harness, ice axe. So they basically only require their mountain boots, clothes, and accessories (glasses, backpack, gloves). Anyway you can see the checklist to verify that you have what you need and / or let us know if you need something!
Some programs may also include other items (such as sleeping bags or trekking poles), so if it is indicated in the program it will be available in the program.
The trekking boots can be used with crampons, so they may be suitable for the program if
However, we will always need to check them before the trip, you can send us a photo of them so we can have a general idea of your footwear and if they are needed, we can pack some spare mountain boots for you to have with us.
Yes, we have available trekking poles, mountain boots, gloves, backpacks, sunglasses for rent. So if you need something do not forget to let us know in the booking process.
The weather conditions are essential for a safe and enjoyable trip. However, an accurate and somewhat reliable weather forecast can only be had about five (5) days before the planned date for the trip, so we try to be as flexible as possible with reservations made in advance:
To be able to book a date we only require the payment of the reservation fee, and once we have a reliable forecast we re-confirm the date and coordinate the payment of the difference. But if it is not possible to start the ascent because we foresee that there will be poor visibility in the glacial area (precipitation or clouds that reduce visibility to only a few meters) we will look for an alternative date or the refund of the booking fee.
However, if by mutual agreement we decide to start the program (that is, to go out to pick you up or to meet at the lodge), either because the forecast looks good, acceptable, or unclear, and the conditions do not allow us to reach the summit or meet the proposed objectives, there is no refund of the payment!
YES.
This is a trip we have made many times with ski mountaineering. Between July and October there are usually snow conditions to enjoy an ascent and descent in the volcanoes of southern Chile. September and October are usually the best months for this.
So this same itinerary can be done or adjusted for a ski mountaineering trip through the volcanoes of Chile!
