We will meet at the Ermitaño Expediciones agency, where our guides will introduce themselves and help you prepare your equipment for the day.

The car ride to the base of the volcano takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Once we arrive at the base of the volcano, the guides will give you instructions before starting the climb.

We'll embark on a 45-minute walk along a level path until we reach the base of the volcano.

Starting from the base, which is situated at an elevation of 1,200 meters above sea level, we'll begin our ascent, aiming for our campsite located at 2,900 meters. Once there, we'll set up our tents and spend the remainder of the afternoon and evening relaxing.

A warm dinner will be provided, as we await the sunset.

On the second day, we'll rise early for breakfast at around 4:30 am. Leaving our camping gear behind, we'll commence our climb to the summit by 5 am.

Approximately 6 hours later, depending on the group's fitness level and prevailing weather conditions, we anticipate reaching the summit.

For this leg of the journey, we'll travel light, carrying only essentials like food, water, and necessary equipment. If the weather permits, we'll have the opportunity to stay for 20 minutes at the summit.

After savoring the summit's views, we'll descend to retrieve our camping gear and then continue our descent to where our vehicle awaits.

This descent should take around 5 hours in total.

We’ll arrive back at the Ermitaño agency around 7:00pm – depending on the season.

The activity ends at the agency, where you will be received with a refreshing drink or beer and a delicious snack. It’s a wonderful moment to celebrate your achievement and reflect on your experience of climbing the highest volcano in the Araucanía region !
