Coropuna is the highest volcano in Peru, rising to an impressive 6,425 meters above sea level. Located in the Arequipa region, it is one of the most formidable and challenging peaks in the Andes mountain range. Conquering Coropuna is an exhilarating experience for mountaineers and adventure seekers alike, offering not only an incredible physical challenge but also a chance to witness some of the most stunning landscapes in South America.
The ascent to Coropuna follows a demanding 3-day itinerary, requiring both physical and mental preparation. Proper acclimatization is essential to adjust to the high altitude, as the climb involves significant elevation gains. Participants must be in top physical condition, with skills in ice and snow climbing, and the use of specialized gear such as crampons, ice axes, helmets, and appropriate clothing to withstand cold temperatures at high altitudes.
Climbing Coropuna offers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse in the natural beauty of the Andes.
