The Lanín volcano stretches 3,776 meters above sea level, making it the highest volcano in the Araucanía region.
It’s located on the border of Chile and Argentina, but we always climb from Chilean side. Its long and tiring ascent will be rewarded by an incredible view from the summit where you will be able to admire several volcanoes, lakes, and huge expanses of forests, including those in the Andes mountain range.
This activity lasts two full days.
Day 1:
6am: We meet at our agency where we will give you all the necesary equipment for the adventure. We have around 1h driving to reach the base of the volcano.
8am: Begining of the climb. We will start from 1200masl, and hike until 2700 or 2900masl aprox, to reach a good place to camp.
2pm/4pm: Arriving at 29000masl, from here we will install the tents, cook and rest during all the afternoon. We will enjoy an amazing sunset from the mountain! We include you a warm dinner.
Day 2:
