Parinacota is a dormant stratovolcano that forms part of the Cerros de Payachata (twin mountains) range that borders Chile and Bolivia. Towering majestically over the rest of the natural landscape with its twin peak (the Pomerape), the 6342m high volcano presents visitors with sweeping panoramas and fascinating rock formations along the trek to its snow-white summit.

Hikers and mountaineers will love the challenge of the summit, whilst tourists and photographers will love the ruggedly beautiful terrain for its near perfect symmetry and striking snow-capped peaks. Explore Lake Chungara, the area’s largest lake along the route – formed approximately 8000 years ago when Parinacota collapsed, producing a debris avalanche that blocked drainages and formed the placid, crystalline lake. Home to a wide variety of endemic flora and fauna such as the Andean cat and charophytes, Parinacota is also a delight for all nature lovers from around the world.
