LASCAR VOLCANO
COME VISIT THE MOST ACTIVE VOLCANO IN NORTHERN CHILE
Lascar Volcano is the most active volcano in northern Chile, with 30 recorded eruptions from the 19th century to the present day. It has six craters, with the central crater emitting large fumaroles that can be seen mainly in the morning.
The ascent route is 110km southeast of San Pedro de Atacama where we pass Laguna Legía before beginning the ascent.
It's a hike of low technical difficulty, with a well-marked trail of intermediate physical difficulty, where we walk to the volcano's central crater and, if possible, to the summit. The approximate ascent time is 3 hours and the descent time is 1.5 hours.
The tour includes:
Transport
Breakfast
Certified high mountain guide
Mountain equipment if necessary
What to bring:
Trekking boots
Three layers of clothing
Hat and Cap
Gloves
Sunscreen
Sunglasses
1.5L of water for more
Minimum 2 people
Volcano ascents are considered high altitude, so acclimatization time is required in San Pedro de Atacama due to the high altitude. We recommend taking at least two tours at altitudes above 4,000 meters to acclimate your body to these extreme conditions, as well as ensuring adequate hydration and rest.
