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, weâll go to the Salado and Grande rivers. On day 2, weâll visit the little village of Machuca and head to the Blanco geyser. Then, on day 3, weâll approach the base camp of the volcano. Day 4 will be our summit day. After a long climb, weâll contemplate the crater of Pili Volcano and return to base camp. Finally, on day 5, weâll 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.
Also, if you wish to explore this area further, you can take a look at these programs in RĂo Salado and Licancabur Volcano that I also lead.

Great support from Carlos all the way to the summit of Mont Blanc. I had a really good time and learned a lot of things that were useful not only at the time but also for the future. Thanks again for your advice and see you soon

Carlos was awesome - provided a great sense of security, handled the rope really well, is in great shape and made the whole experience seem much more effortless than it seemed. Highly recommended and hope to do more outings with him!
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
