Language skills:

Chilean leader Mario Sepulveda Palma is our Atacama specialist. He is currently the person with the most ascents to Ojos del Salado – world’s largest volcano – with over 60 ascents. Mario is an excellent skier and competed in world championships as ski touring athlete. He also represented Chile in many competitions in other South American countries.

Mario started guiding in 2001. Since then he led expeditions in most of the Andes specially at the dry Atacama Andes. He has some pretty amazing accomplishments including an expedition to Kangchenjunga (8598m in Nepal) with no oxygen and no sherpas. Mario is certainly the guy you want to have around when you climb anything at the Atacama.
