Description

This classic route of La Puna, Atacama starts at the Laguna Santa Rosa at the stone wall. The trail is well marked through a small boulder field and then up along the ridge to the summit. The end is cell tower on top of the summit. Nice and runnable all the way up and down!

Ascent and round-trip marks are both recorded.

Volcano Copiapó (Chile)

Description

Volcan Copiapó (6052m) is probably the easiest (from a technical perspective) and most accessible 6000m peak in the Puna de Atacama, if not the world. This makes it super runnable and a great training peak for other 6000m mountains and a good place to practice moving quick at high altitude.

The trail head is reached via mining access roads and you'll probably want a high clearance vehicle to get there.
