Copahue Volcano Hike

On this hike up the Copahue Volcano, we will climb to one of the most impressive and active craters in the Andes.

Hike Details

We will begin our adventure with a pick-up from your hotel in Caviahue. After that, we will drive in an off-roading vehicle to the starting point of the Copahue Volcano hike.

Upon arrival, we will put on our hiking shoes, grab walking sticks, and start the first phase of the hike. During the ascent, we will see the fumaroles of this active crater, recognized as the most active volcano in the Andean region in recent decades.

As we approach the second phase, we will discuss the studies and significance of the Copahue Volcano for research centres in Chile and Argentina. We will then enter the third and final hiking stage in the El Arenal area, where we will wear hard hats and exert ourselves to reach the summit.

The peaks and the smell of sulphur will indicate that we are nearing the crater's lagoon, where you will have 30 minutes of free time to rest and enjoy a warm drink.

After this break, we will begin our descent and return to Caviahue in the off-roading vehicle, concluding the tour after a total of 8 hours.
