One of our must-do <\/span>tours in Chile<\/b><\/a>! Located in the heart of the Andes, Cerro Zapaleri stands majestically as a silent witness to the history and geography of South America. But, beyond being an imposing rock formation, this hill is a very important geographical point.<\/span> It demarks the borders of Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina.<\/b><\/p>\n The Zapaleri, standing tall at 5,638 m.a.s.l., is more than just a geographical landmark.<\/span> It poses a challenge for mountaineers and adventurers who are eager to conquer its heights and witness a panoramic view of three nations from its top.<\/b> Furthermore, this mountain is surrounded by stories and local legends that speak of its mysteries and the spirits that inhabit it.<\/span><\/p>\n Indigenous communities from the region have considered Zapaleri as a sacred place since ancient times, a connecting pillar between earth and heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n If you are someone who loves adventure and wishes to explore places where nature and history blend magically, Cerro Zapaleri is the perfect destination for you!<\/span><\/p>\n Starting an unforgettable adventure at 10 a.m.<\/b>, the route along the CH-27 road presents us with the imposing Monjes de la Pacana, as well as the mysterious salt flats of Aguas Calientes and Quepiaco.<\/span><\/p>\n After two hours, we\u2019ll enter a dirt road that leads us across the majestic Altiplano. During this journey, <\/span>we\u2019ll find mirror lagoons and the renowned Zapaleri River<\/b>. In the evening, around 5 p.m., we\u2019ll set up our base camp: a magical enclave steeped in legends and echoes of the past. Here, <\/span>a warm dinner awaits us before we dive into our dreams under a starry sky in our tents<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n Second day will start at 3 a.m.<\/b> with a light breakfast to give us the necessary energy for the great climb. Although the hill doesn\u2019t present major technical challenges, <\/span>its extension requires endurance and determination<\/b>. With enthusiasm and a steady pace, we hope to reach the top in about 6 or 7 hours, finally encountering the emblematic tripartite landmark.<\/span><\/p>\n Our return trip will take about 3 to 4 hours. Upon returning to the vehicle, around 4 p.m., we\u2019ll be rewarded with a well-deserved meal and then continue our return to San Pedro de Atacama.<\/span><\/p>\n The difference in altitude we face is approximately 3,900 ft. <\/span>This route is ideal for those who may not have extensive<\/b> climbing experience<\/b> but are in excellent physical condition. It\u2019s also the perfect setting for mountaineers looking to acclimatize for even higher challenges in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n We suggest wearing warm clothes, as temperatures can be cold at high altitudes, trekking shoes<\/span> that provide support and traction, sunscreen to protect you from the intense sun, and, of course, <\/span>at least four liters of water<\/b> to keep you hydrated during the climbing.<\/span><\/p>\n If you have questions about the itinerary, <\/span>what to bring for trekking<\/b><\/a>, and even about the <\/span>weather in San Pedro de Atacama<\/b><\/a>, just contact us!<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Please note that this tour has a <\/b>duration of two days<\/b>.
