About this experience
They will climb to the summit of the highest volcano in the Araucanía region. The promotion of the Chilean side is not very popular and we will not meet many people, it will be a total disconnection. The long and tiring ascent will be rewarded upon reaching the summit, with a 360° view over 15 volcanoes and several lakes. The mountain experience is very complete: we will travel through forests, rocky and snowy terrain, with the use of crampons and ice axes. The camp in the middle of the mountain is also a unique and unforgettable experience!
