Lonquimay Volcano Hiking Excursion
Lonquimay Volcano Hiking Excursion
We'll meet at 7:30 am at Kilometer 0 of the Lonquimay Volcano Crossing. From this point in Malalcahuello, we'll begin an ascent to the summit of the mountain.
Over the course of this hiking route, which will be of medium-high difficulty, we'll cover 12 kilometers (7.4 miles), making several stops along the way to calmly enjoy the scenery. We'll cross a beautiful area of Chilean Patagonia, a unique environment at the foot of the Andes.
The effort will be well worth it because, at an altitude of 2,865 meters (9,400 feet), the summit of the Lonquimay volcano awaits us. Did you know that the name of this mountain is of Mapuche origin? While we learn this and other curiosities about this peak, we'll admire other Andean volcanoes such as Llaima, Villarrica, Lanín, Quetrupillán, and the Sierra Nevada.
At the top of Lonquimay, we'll also observe an amazing crater spanning more than 800 meters (2,625 feet) across. While enjoying the views, we'll have an energy bar, a candy, and an isotonic drink.
Finally, we'll start the descent back to the meeting point, where we'll arrive at 3:30 pm.
