Copahue Volcano Hike

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

Hike Details

We will begin our adventure after picking you up from your hotel in Caviahue. Then, we will drive in an off-roading vehicle to the starting point of the Copahue Volcano hike.

Upon arrival, we will prepare our hiking gear and start the first phase of the ascent. During the hike, we will witness the fumaroles of the constantly active crater, which has been recognized as the most active volcano in the Andean region in recent decades.

As we approach the second phase, we will discuss the research and significance of Copahue Volcano for Chilean and Argentine research centres. In the third and final phase, we will enter the El Arenal area, donning hard hats to reach the summit.

Upon nearing the peak, the smell of sulphur will indicate we are approaching the crater's lagoon. Here, you will have 30 minutes of free time to rest and enjoy a warm drink while taking in the view.

After this break, we will descend and return to Caviahue in the off-roading vehicle, concluding our experience with drop-off at your hotel after a total of 8 hours.
