Our Early Booking Discount of £100 runs through till 31st May 2012 on most of these expeditions and our First Booking Discount of a further £100 is still available on a few of these as well.
We've just posted a few preliminary pictures from our Puna First Ascents trip, when we made first ascents of at least three 6000m peaks, check them out here. Also some new pictures from our November 2011 Patagonian Ice Cap ski expedition taken by David Roberts here.
Brazilian Climber and Scrambler is a great short holiday to the country with the best scrambling and climbing and friendliest people in South America, plus a chance to see and experience one of the world's most beautiful and vibrant cities - Rio de Janeiro. Pictured above scrambling on Agulhas Negras, Itatiaia national park .
Steep skiing above Lago Nahuel Huapi, near Bariloche as featured in our Argentine Ski Mountaineer. The first time we ran this it proved to be such a good itinerary we've now re-scheduled it for August 2012. In three weeks of skiing in 2009 we had 95% blue skies and no rain or storms. Just wine, spring snow and sunshine!
Treks, Holidays and Expeditions
This site has information about our mountain expeditions and skiing holidays and guidebooks and also lots of free information about the Andes mountains.
We are highly recommended by past customers. Have a look at our Customer Satisfaction page for further details. Not surprisingly we have very high repeat booking rates and referral booking rates and run a lot of private itineraries. That's why we don't advertise much.
