Ascent to Lanin volcano, 3,776masl, from Pucón – Lanín, Argentina

EXPERIENCE

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.

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:
4am/5am: After having breakfast (included), we will start our second hike day, with light backpacks: we will leave tents and sleeping bags here and climb with less equipment.

The descent will last around 6 hours
