Since then I have made several rock climbing trips to many places
in Brazil, including Pedra do Baú, Pedralva, São Bento do Sapucaí,
Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, Serra dos Órgãos, Rio de Janeiro,
Analândia, Atibaia, Bragança Paulista etc. More recently, I have
climbed also in the Italian Dolomites, the German Frankenjura
and the Austrian and Bavarian Alps.

Since 1995 I also have made several ice
climbing trips, as well as snow and ice
and high mountain expeditions,
including Cerro Tronador and Cerro
Aconcágua, in Argentina, Illimani
and Illampu, in Bolivia and Peru,
Torres del Paine, in Chile,
Grossvenediger, in Austria, and
Mont Blanc du Tacul, in France.
 
 
 
 
 

Perhaps the most interesting expedition I had ever
participated in was the I Expedição Brasileira à Patagônia
Ocidental, sponsored by Lexmark. The members of this
CAP expedition explored an area in the south of Chile
that was then untouched by the human being. In this trip,
a route to Cerro Gaviota still unclimbed summit was
identified, and two virgin mountains were climbed and
named, one of them after Domingos Giobbi, the founder of
CAP.
 
 

A detailed account of this trip can be found here.
Another one here. A note in the American
Alpine Journal documents this expedition.
Surely, we must come back there to finish
the climb to summit Cerro Gaviota.
As far as we know, nobody has been there 
after us, as well...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

In December 3, 1999, I started one of the most splendid trips I have ever
done: Antarctica. Brazil has an Antarctic Research Program (ProAntar),
and thus an Antarctic station, located in the Admiralty Bay, King George
island, in the South Shetlands islands. For specialized support and safety
issues, ProAntar sends mountaineers each summer, and in that summer I
was selected to go. I spent 50 days there and made several reports that can
be reached in Antártica On-Line.
