Hike Up the Hornopirén Volcano

After picking you up at 7:30 am at your hotel in Hornopirén, we'll set off towards the Hornopirén volcano trailhead, located 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) from the town.

Once equipped with the necessary materials, we'll start the ascent to the Hornopirén volcano, which will take us about 6 hours. It's approximately 9.5 kilometers (5.9 miles) long and has a medium-high difficulty level. We will make several stops to enjoy the breathtaking landscapes of Chilean Patagonia.

During the hike, we’ll cross lush forests of alerce trees. Gradually, we will ascend until we reach an altitude of 1500 meters (4,920 feet), just 72 meters (230 feet) from the summit of the Hornopirén volcano.

The effort will reward us with views of the Calbuco and Osorno volcanoes and the southern fjords. We will learn facts about the Hornopirén peak, an Andean stratovolcano of the Liquiñe-Ofqui fault, meaning "snow oven".

We will take a break at the volcano’s top to replenish our energy with a snack bar, a piece of fruit, and a hydrating sports drink. After this snack, we will start our descent back to the trailhead and return to your hotel in Hornopirén, arriving at 3:30 pm.
