Itinerary
Day 1: On this expedition to Lanín Volcano, you will meet your guide in San Martín de los Andes to review the itinerary, clear up any questions, and visit a specialized outdoor shop to fit and rent your technical gear(if needed).
Day 2: We will drive to the base of the volcano and begin hiking through a forest of lengas and coihues, navigating the high-mountain terrain up to the huts at 2,300 meters above sea level. There, you will receive hands-on training on essential mountaineering techniques—learning how to walk in crampons, use an ice axe, and practice self-arrest maneuvers on snow and ice. Overnight accommodation is in mountain domes shared with members of other expeditions.
