PARINACOTA VOLCANO, 6 342 m
with acclimatizacion in Putre - Chile

If we talk about the most characteristic landscape of the Chilean Altiplano, we will focus our minds on the beautiful Parinacota, a 6342 meter-high volcano. Its perfect cone covered by the everlasting snow invites mountaineers to climb through its rough slopes beating the altitude of the Andes . Hundreds of llamas, vicuñas and alpacas are part of the landscape surrounding the volcano, while crystal clear lagoons and lakes reflect its imposing figure.

Furthermore, the magnificent surroundings and the vestiges of millennial cultures will take us to a magical Andean world. This expedition demands strong physical effort and basic knowledge about uphill techniques.
