At 8:00 a.m., we will pick you up from your hotel in Putre and head toward the so-called Pampa de Luscuma.
In this plain of the Andean foothills of northern Chile, we will begin a trekking route that will take us to the summit of Cerro Surunche. Throughout the hike, which is of medium-high difficulty and lasts between 5 and 6 hours, we will ascend to a maximum altitude of 3,890 meters (12,762 feet).
Did you know that traditional Andean ceremonies are held on Cerro Surunche? As we ascend the mountain slope, we’ll learn about the main rituals celebrated here. At the summit, we’ll see a colonial-era crucifix around which the Cruz de Mayo festivities take place.
This activity presents a moderate to high challenge, ideal for those with good physical condition and experience in outdoor activities. With an approximate duration of 4 hours, the route offers an intense and rewarding experience.
Altitude: The maximum altitude reached will be 3,890 meters (12,762 feet) above sea level. At this height, it is recommended to be well-acclimatized and prepared for the effects of high altitude, such as reduced oxygen availability.
While enjoying the views, we’ll take a break for a picnic, which includes sandwiches, nuts, chocolate, and natural juices. After recharging, we’ll begin the descent along the most accessible side of the mountain.
We will conclude the trekking route at the starting point and from there return to your hotel in Putre. Arrival is expected between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM.
