Volcano Ascent
Drive across the high plains to a trailhead at approximately 5,000 metres, then begin a steady ascent of Cerro Toco near the Chile-Bolivia border. The demanding high-altitude trek climbs to 5,600 metres, where expansive views stretch across Laguna Blanca, the Salar de Atacama and the surrounding Andes before a paced descent to the support vehicle.
Guests must be 18 or older and have spent at least five nights acclimatising at Tierra Atacama. Suitable fitness and readiness are required. Wear trekking or hiking boots, long thermal layers, a long-sleeve dry-fit shirt, windproof pants, a fleece jacket, a windbreaker or heavy coat, mountain gloves, a warm hat, and a buff or bandana.
We want every experience to be enjoyable and comfortable, so if you have any mobility or accessibility questions, please reach out to our team to discuss your needs and determine whether an experience is right for you.
