* Enjoy a 17-day journey to the summit of Copiapo in Chile.
* Climb additional peaks including the Cerro Beltran and more.
* Spend your nights in various mountain refuges and camps.
Located in the Atacama Region of Chile, the Copiapo Volcano is an incredible peak. It is full of gorgeous views that only grow more spectacular the further up you go.
Our trip will begin in Buenos Aires, where you will catch a flight to La Rioja. After that, we will go to Fiambala, where we will spend the night. For the next few days, we will trek around the area. Moreover, for the purpose of acclimatization, we will also climb to the summits of the Cerro Pastos Largos (4,100m) and Cortaderas (4,050m). Following those summits, we will venture to Las Grutas before summiting the Cerro Beltran (5,350m). For the next few days, we will go to the Murray Refuge. Near the refuge, we will do more climbing of nearby peaks, including the Picos de Indios (5,885m).
On the 9th day of the trip, after you’re properly acclimatized, we will make our way to the base camp of Copiapo (4,700m). On the following day, we will summit the great peak. Afterwards, we will make our way back to Fiambala and then La Rioja, where you will fly home. There will be additional days included in the itinerary in case of inclement weather. Thus giving you a better chance of reaching the summit of Copiapo.
Definitely one of the most sensational peaks in Chile, Copiapo is a great peak to climb. To enjoy the ascent, all you have to do is send a request.
I also offer a 12-day journey to the summit of the Cerro San Francisco in Catamarca (6,016m).

Mountain Guide
EPGAMT Mountain Guide from Mendoza, Argentina.
I always enjoyed the mountains, and started with mountaineering activities since a young age, so it was natural for me to become a mountain guide. I’ve been working for more than 15 seasons in Aconcagua, first as porter, then as Mountain Guide assistant, and now as Mountain Guide.
I climbed a lot of peaks all along the Andes mountain range, in Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Peru, including Aconcagua (6.962 mt – 27 ascents, through different routes like the North and the Polish glacier-), Co Plata (6.000 mt), Ojos del Salado (6.780 mt), Mount Pissis (6.850 m), C° LLullaillaco (6.723 m), C° Incahuasi (6.450 m), Vn Sajama (6.550 m), Vn Bonete Chico (6 750 m), Co Junción (5000 m), Toclaraju ( 6036m), Pisco (5750m), and the three summits of Tres Cruces 6.780m. I recently did my first expedition in the Himalayas, where I reached the summit of Mt Lhotse (8.516 mt).
I usually enjoy organizing expeditions to wild, off-the-beaten-track destinations, that need a complex logistic that you won’t find easily elsewhere.
I am fluent in Spanish, English and Italian.

Personally, was more impressed with the road trip towards the mountain than the mountain itself, but it was definitely worth going. The lunar landscape in this remote area is absolutely awesome. The guide was well prepared, very friendly, and even a surprisingly good cook. The location is as far as you are likely to get from civilisation. The weather was also unusually good. But the mountain is tough and frustrating sliding down every step in the loose gravel and sand. Not everyone's cup of tea
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
