In over ten mountain expeditions in Patagonia, he accomplished many first ascents, and has climbed the Paine towers in Chile and Alpamayo in Peru. A very enthusiastic guide, André’s love for nature and respect for the mountains is infectious to all who travel with him.

Alternately, if weather and time permit, take a longer hike from Laguna Verde to Rio Paine, with fantastic views.

Begin your trek deep into the park, continuing to circle beneath Paine Grande Mountain to the entrance of the French Valley, one of the most spectacular cirques in the Paine Range and the middle leg of the \"W\" route. You\'ll gain elevation as you hike into the valley, walking below the glaciers that descend from the massif\'s highest summit and marveling at the gray granite peaks of the Cuernos del Paine, topped with fantastical black slate \"horns.\" After reaching the French Valley lookout with its awe-inspiring views, head to your cabins beneath the jagged Cuernos (\"horns\") del Paine. Stay in cozy cabins right next to a waterfall on the most isolated spot of the journey, with a prime position to view sunset hitting the horns, followed by dark night skies filled with stars.
