Description
The ascent to the majestic Cerro Toco Extinct Volcano is, without a doubt, the perfect experience for those beginners looking to enter the world of mountaineering. With a short and friendly ascent, which does not require previous experience, this volcano becomes the perfect challenge for your adventure. The panoramic view from the summit will take your breath away, with the vastness of the desert landscapes and mountains stretching as far as the eye can see. Get ready to feel the adrenaline, the connection with nature and the satisfaction of reaching the top of Cerro Toco. This is your chance to immerse yourself in the beauty and adventure of the mountains! The day begins early, at 8:00 in the morning, when we leave from your hotel in San Pedro de Atacama. Our journey takes us along the international route CH-27, a path that offers us a privileged view of some of the most iconic volcanoes in the region. Then, we entered the Astronomical Park, where some of the most important universe study projects in the world are housed. The futuristic infrastructure stands in contrast to the arid landscape and reminds us of the tireless pursuit of human knowledge. After approximately an hour by vehicle, we reach our starting point for this ascent, located at about 5,280 meters above sea level. An ascent of 1.7km of walking and 330 meters of elevation awaits us with an average slope of 23°. for 3 hours so it becomes a physical and mental challenge. We advance at a slow pace, respecting the altitude and taking breaks to rest and contemplate the surroundings. The summit welcomes us with a view that steals our breath, a gift that only the top of Cerro Toco can offer. From there, the Andes spread out like a tapestry of peaks and valleys. The feeling of achievement and gratitude invades us as we contemplate the horizon. The descent is much friendlier and faster, taking about an hour to return to the starting point. Finally, we returned to San Pedro de Atacama around 3:00 p.m., with our hearts full of indelible memories and our spirits enriched by this exciting adventure.Includes
