HAE was founded on october 2009

Born with a single dream about to live from what we do. With the idea of sharing with others the experiences that our backyard has made in us. We use our experience traveling, climbing, and mountaineering with our knowledge of our region and its people to develop experiences. Thus our life in Southern Chile is defined by the close relationship it shares with the natural landscapes. The volcanoes and glaciers dominate the land, shape our geology, and define our way of life. The simple act of think about climbing a volcano leads us to rediscover ourselves in an adventure journey exploring its morphology, its history, its nature, and the people who live in it. Because we do what we love, we trust that each of our acts – as a company, guides, or persons – will be developed with the best of us. It will be friendly, honest, and respectful to our guests, to us, and to whom is hosting our journey.
