It is located in the border between Chile and Bolivia, and it is the highest of a 4 volcanoes chain situated very close to each other: Curiquinca (5,700 meters high), Escalante (5,800 meters high), Cerro Colorado (5,700 meters high) and Sairecabur, which reign between all of them with 6,000 meters high.
We will leave San Pedro de Atacama in a vehicle, taking the route towards El Tatio Geysers. On the road, we will pass by an abandoned sulfur mine, where we will have breakfast receive some instructions to begin our ascent. The time that lasts will depend on the rhythm of the group, but it should take around 3 hours. It is a hard climb, but when we get to the summit we will realize that totally worth it.
