Description

If you are looking for an ascent to a great peak with incredible landscapes in the Andes, then this program to Pili Volcano in Chile is perfect for you!

Acamarachi Volcano, also known as Pili Volcano, is a stratovolcano situated in the Antofagasta region of Chile, near San Pedro de Atacama. This peak in the Andes lies at 6,046 meters above sea level and used to be a sacred sanctuary for the Incas 500 years ago.

The meeting point of this trip will be San Pedro de Atacama. On day 1, we’ll go to the Salado and Grande rivers. On day 2, we’ll visit the little village of Machuca and head to the Blanco geyser. Then, on day 3, we’ll approach the base camp of the volcano. Day 4 will be our summit day. After a long climb, we’ll contemplate the crater of Pili Volcano and return to base camp. Finally, on day 5, we’ll return to San Pedro de Atacama and say goodbye.

Because this is a challenging climb, it is important to have a very good fitness level to participate**.** Of course, I will be there to help and guide you all the way!

Reach the summit of this amazing volcano and enjoy trekking through the beautiful Chilean wilderness. If you wish to join this program, send the request and make your reservation now.

What people are saying about Carlos

Paul

The trip was amazing. The park is marvelous and the guide took us on a route away from the ordinary, exactly how we had hoped. His expertise in the mountains was very reassuring. Everything was taken care of, all we needed was our personal belongings and our motivation. A great experience!

Mariia

We had a fantastic experience with Carlos on a nine-day trekking trip in Torres del Paine, combining the O-Circuit and the Oggioni Pass. Carlos is extremely experienced and deeply knowledgeable about the area, and he and his team went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. Patagonia is incredibly beautiful, and this route showcased a stunning variety of landscapes and natural wonders. We can’t recommend this experience highly enough.

Carl

Carlos and Omar were both excellent guides and really helped push us to the summit.
