Sairecabur Volcano Climb

Sairecabur Volcano is characterized for its beauty as well as its far-off location and difficult access. 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. We will have breakfast at 4,000 m and then arrive at an abandoned sulfur mine where we will receive instructions to begin the ascent from 5,500 m. 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. In the crater, we will have amazing views of the Licancabur and Juriques volcanoes, as well as the Verde Lagoon in Bolivian territory. After seeing the landscape and recover some energy, we will begin the descent, and then we will take the vehicle to return to San Pedro de Atacama.
