Trail description

A 4.3 km climb of about 850 m from the end of the access track at about 4,700 m up loose scree to the crater rim of Láscar at about 5,550 m, the most active volcano of northern Chile, with fumaroles steaming in the crater below. The altitude is extreme: acclimatise for several days in San Pedro de Atacama first, and most climbers go with a local guide.
