The Nevados de Chillán Volcanic Complex has it all.
Its a playground to everyone up for adventures: skiing, biking or hiking. Volcanoes, big open faces, hotsprings, valleys, bowls, gullies, steep couloirs, tree skiing, high alpine, pillows, and many more.
Safety First
Experience, local knowledge and training are the key for our Guides, they are highly trained in First Aid and Rescue Procedures for wild and mountain places. All of our Guides has Wilderness First Responder and Avalanche Certifications. Plus a deep terrain knowledge.
You took us on awesome adventures, made us feel very calm and relaxed and no pressure. You both have a very accommodating vibe which makes the day very enjoyable. I loved that you where able to split the group up on our first day so that some people could go home and some could do another run. It worked really well. Also the photos were an added bonus, everyone loves them. I will be returning next winter hopefully with more groups and I hope we can work together again.
It has been now a year that we travelled to beautiful Chile. One of the things that made our time so special in Chile was our Splitboard Tour with lovely, funny and kind Francisco of BackChillan.
The tour was very professional and well chosen for beginners. But at the same time not at all boring, just amazing and beautiful. Francisco had answers to all of our many questions and taught us so well how to behave in case of an avalanche.
We still love to remember this amazing tour always facing the ash spitting volcano. It didn't felt like being on tour with just some random Guide, it nearly felt like spending time with a good friend. Thank you Back Chillan, Thank you Francisco for this special part of our trip.

Excelentes días en el valle Las Trancas, a los pies del Nevado de Chillán, junto a nuestros amigos de BackChillan conocimos Valle Hermoso, Valle Aguas Calientes y las montañas nevadas de la región del Bio Bio. Lindo Lugar.
Thank you for the tour. We had a wonderful time and it was a very special experience to go to Aguas Calientes. We will certainly recommend your touring service to other backcountry skiers.

Whether guiding amongst the snowy peaks of Chillán Viejo and Nuevo, spying fresh lines in Valle Hermoso and Aguas Calientes, or sharing the best mountain biking lines in Valle Shangri-La, this core group is the go-to for local knowledge—and even offers one of South America's only AIARE-certified courses.
We had an amazing time. Manuel and Filipe were beyond super. Patient with our daughter who is new to back country activities, very encouraging and supportive. Safety was #1 priority. Our skinning out of bounds was great. Our out of bounds skiing was amazing. Manuel has an amazing backyard to play in. Very competent, very strong skiers, worth every penny. Cant wait to go back. And the photos are unreal!!!

Just wanted to thank you for an excellent few days of touring with the team at BackChillan. We really enjoyed ourselves, it was the highlight of our entire trip to Chile. You were well prepared, we learned a lot and saw some amazing terrain and Ben is ready for his next ascent. We felt safe at all times and appreciated your patience as I was behind!

Cheers man! So great to meet you, and I hope that we cross paths again someday. That day will go down as the best ski touring day I've ever had.
