Highlights

The ascent to the most active volcano, in the northern sector of our country, is one of the most famous and exciting challenges in Atacama. We start at dawn in the southeast direction to ride to the highlands, behind the line of mountains drawn from San Pedro. We have breakfast at Laguna Legia with a simply spectacular view of the Pili, Sinbad and Lascar volcanoes. A climb of between 3 and 4 hours, with a difference of 600 meters in less than 5 kilometers to reach the summit. Depending on the conditions of the team and the top we enjoy the peace and energy that this place gives us. A descent of approximately 2 hours. We return to San Pedro appreciating one of the most beautiful roads in Atacama.

About San Pedro de Atacama

San Pedro de Atacama is an adobe oasis town in northern Chile, ringed by salt flats, volcanoes, geysers and some of the driest desert on earth.

San Pedro de Atacama is a village of low whitewashed adobe houses and dusty streets in an oasis of the Atacama Desert, at about 2,400 metres. Its adobe church goes back to the 17th century and has a roof of cactus wood, and the small Museo Arqueológico Gustavo Le Paige displays mummies and pottery from the desert's early peoples. The cone of Licancabur volcano stands over the town to the east.

Top-ranked sights in San Pedro de Atacama: El Tatio Geysers, Moon Valley (Valle de la Luna), Chaxa Lagoon (Laguna Chaxa).
