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) away from the town.

Once equipped with poles and necessary materials, we'll start the ascent to the Hornopirén volcano. The trekking route will take us about 6 hours, covering approximately 9.5 kilometers (5.9 miles) with 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 characteristic of the Andean countryside. Gradually, we will ascend to an altitude of 1500 meters (4,920 feet), just 72 meters (230 feet) from the summit of the Hornopirén volcano.

At the top, we will have remarkable views of the Calbuco and Osorno volcanoes and the southern fjords. We will also learn about the Hornopirén peak, part of the Liquiñe-Ofqui fault.

We will take a break at the summit for a snack bar, a piece of fruit, and a hydrating sports drink. After this, we will begin our descent back to the trailhead and return to your hotel in Hornopirén, arriving at approximately 3:30 pm.
