Copahue Volcano Hike

On this hike up the Copahue Volcano, we'll tackle the climb up to one of the most impressive and active craters in the Andes mountain range.

Hike Details

We'll begin our adventure with a pick-up from your hotel in Caviahue. Then, we'll use an off-roading vehicle to reach the starting point of the Copahue Volcano hike.

Upon arrival, we'll prepare our hiking gear and commence the first phase of our ascent up Copahue Volcano, where we will see the fumaroles of the active crater. This volcano has been regarded as the most active in the Andean region for decades.

As we progress, we will discuss the studies and significance of Copahue Volcano for Chilean and Argentine research centres. The third and final phase will take us to the El Arenal area, where we will wear hard hats and continue towards the summit.

Upon nearing the top, the peaks and the smell of sulphur will signal our arrival at the crater's lagoon. Here, you'll have 30 minutes of free time to relax and enjoy a warm drink while taking in your accomplishment.

After this break, we will begin our descent. Following our return in the off-roading vehicle, we will conclude our tour back at your hotel after a total of 8 hours.
