Chile, Ojos del Salado (6893m), Mountaineering


Trip overview

Copiapó - Laguna Rosa (3,800m) - Laguna Verde (4,340m) - Atakama Camp (5,100m) - Tejos Refuge (5,800m) - Ojos del Salado Peak (6,893m) - Copiapo


Why go there?

With this program, we are launching a new project called "7 Volcanoes." Our journey begins in the city of Copiapó, located 800 km north of Santiago, in the Atacama Desert region. From there, we will embark on a climbing expedition and road trip to the highest volcano in the world – Ojos del Salado (6,893 m).

We will drive through the driest and hottest place on Earth, filled with mirages and illusions, and captivating with its ever-changing colors. Our first two camps will be set by lakes – first at Laguna Rosa (Pink Lake) and then at Laguna Verde (Green Lake), where we can also relax in Hot Springs.

If all goes as planned, we will stand on the top of the highest peak in Chile on the 12th day of our expedition. The following day, we’ll unwind in Copiapó or on the Pacific beaches, about 100 km away in the city of Antofagasta, based on your preference.

After the expedition, you’ll also have the option to visit Santiago, Chile’s capital, surrounded by mountains. There, you can enjoy the country’s famous wines and, if desired, take a trip to the renowned coastal beaches of Valparaíso or Viña del Mar.
