Something not right?
Description
As previously described. Walking up the volcano is absolutely worth the effort. It’s not as high and difficult as it looks. For non-athletes it takes 20 minutes up, there is a crater on the top, which takes another 20 minutes to walk around with a fantastic panoramic view. Walking down takes another 15 minutes. There is a more gradual route on the back side with a large cave. Follow the dirt track clockwise from the car park.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
There are a few places around the volcano to camp. Suggest looking at google satellite view to see the access points. Was a good place to spend the night. We climbed the volcano in the morning, up the front side and down the back side. Took us about 90 minutes to go up, down, and return to our camper. Would not say it was easy, but doable. A bit under 2 miles. Did not see anyone else while we spent the night.
Report Check-Ingreat spot to camp with lots of space and can drive around the back of volcano to be hidden from road. 2wd ok, we climbed the volcano in the morning with beautiful panaromic views!
Report Check-InGreat spot for the night, stayed here with our truck. Its a bit protected from the wind. Great views on the snow topped mountain. Very very quiet.
Report Check-Inexcelente local para dormir, afastado da estrada suficiente para ser muito calmo e ficar discretamente.
Report Check-InNice hike up the volcano + cave at sunrise, was nice and cool. Keep in mind the altitude (coming from Calama).
Police came next day guns in hand, however after checking our passports said all was ok, and that it was safe to camp around here.
Report Check-InThere is a cool vent/cavern on the back side at 21.89269 S 68.50225 W
It looks worth exploring but we didn’t have headlamps. Use caution.
Report Check-InNice little hike at 3400m.
The easier trails up are on the back of the volcano (not road side).
Like was said, really good spot to overnight, surrounded by volcamos and amazing sky.
Report Check-InParking lot as described. Beautiful view of the San pedro volcano and next to an other volcano trail. We've seen nobody. Quiet night and awesome breakfast with view.
Report Check-InOne of the best wild place in front of the volcano 🌋, http://www.saint-paul-de-vence-ushuaia.fr/pano/Web69/panorama.htm 360 of the camp, far from the road, good Entel connexion.
Report Check-InVolcano climbing trail parking lot. Away from the road and a “bit” better with the wind here. Nothing fancy just a place to park up for a night
