Description

Take this amazing opportunity to reach the summit of six 6,000-meter mountains. Come with me on this 21-day program in Puna de Atacama, Chile!

This program includes the following ascents: Mount Azufre (6,055 meters), Tres Cruces (6,008 meters), San Francisco volcano (6,018 meters), El ermitaño volcano (6,146 meters), Mount Vicuñas (6,067 meters) and Barrancas Blancas (6,119 meters). These peaks are in Puna de Atacama, a plateau in the border area between Chile and Argentina, and belong to the Andes range.

We’ll begin our adventure in the Chilean city of Copiapó, in the Atacama Desert. In order to be ready for the big ascents, we’ll enjoy acclimatization climbs during the trip. Meanwhile, we’ll have the pleasure to contemplate the typical wild landscape of the puna. Also, we’ll visit beautiful lakes such as Laguna Santa Rosa and Laguna Verde. At the bottom of the page, you will find a detailed description of the itinerary of the trip.

Although the routes to ascend these peaks are not difficult, take into account that it will be a demanding program due to the low levels of humidity and the high altitude. Therefore, it is very important to be physically fit and have background mountaineering experience to join.

So, if you find this program attractive, all you have to do is send the request to book your place now. I’m sure you will have a wonderful time in Puna de Atacama’s mountains!

In addition, I offer several high mountaineering programs in Chile and Argentina, such as these to Pissis and Parinacota volcano. Check them out!
