Alto Andes,
Exclusively Yours.
Winter Immersion in the Japan of the Andes. Northern Patagonia, Chile. Aug-Sept 2026.
"Five Days. Four Guests.
One Mountain."
Alto Andes is not a tour. It is a Private Winter Immersion in the Araucaria forest. Guests stay 5 nights in a private luxury chalet, trading lift lines for ancient trees, and resort restaurants for fireside asados.
"We don't count vertical. We count moments."
The Skiing
Human-powered access to volcanic bowls and deep glades on ancestral Mapuche land. We earn our turns in silence — through storm-proof trees and ancient Araucaria forests sacred to the Pehuenche people.
The Lodge
Asado, Wine, Connection. Mapuche-inspired cuisine meets Chilean Patagonia comfort. Carmenere wine, guitar by the fire, and evenings in a traditional ruka. Real conversation.
The Format
The entire lodge. Just your group. A turnkey private buyout for those who value privacy and shared experience.
Ride for a
Reason.
In Rio de Janeiro, our founder saw firsthand how volunteering and NGO can transform young lives. He brought that philosophy home to become the founder of the Nahuelbuta Mountain Club. Today, we aim to run Snow Experiences for underserved youth in the Araucanía — giving Mapuche and local kids their first day on snow, their first pair of skis, their first ssummit." $100 of every booking goes to the Youth Mountain Program and Mundo Novo.
"Camilo came to Rio with nothing but a backpack and a dream to connect with communities. What he built with Alto Andes is proof that adventure and volunteering can share the same path." — Bianca Simaozinho, Founder of Mundo Novo, Rio de Janeiro.
