Copahue Volcano Hike

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

Hike Details

We'll start our adventure after picking you up from your hotel in Caviahue. A drive in an off-roading vehicle will take us to the starting point of the hike.

Upon arrival, we will put on our walking shoes, grab hiking sticks, and begin the ascent. During the climb, we will see the fumaroles of the active crater, considered the most active volcano in the Andean region in recent decades.

In the second phase of the hike, we will discuss the investigations surrounding the Copahue Volcano, which is of interest to Chilean and Argentine research centres. Soon, we will proceed to the third and final stage of the hike. In the El Arenal area, we will wear hard hats and push toward the summit.

The surrounding peaks and the smell of sulphur will indicate we are nearing the crater's lagoon. You will have 30 minutes of free time to enjoy the view and have a warm drink.

After this break, we will begin our descent. Once back in the off-roading vehicle, we will return to Caviahue, concluding the experience at your hotel after a total of 8 hours.
