Our climb
starts at 5:00am in the morning with the pick-up at your accommodation
in Puerto Varas to drive then to the Lückeheide casona
in Ensenada. From here we go on approaching by horse to the
starting point at the foothills of Calbuco at about 900 meters
above sea level passing through thick native forests where
trees like Mañío,
Coigüe, Tepa
and Tineo prevail
and Quila bamboos and Arrayán
and Maqui bushes as well
as lots of creeping plants and farns make it impossible to
diverge from the established path. Here we leave our horses
and start our ascent of about 2 to 4 hours. A moraine of lava
sands opens our path until the tree limit where our way continues
through mountain landscapes. Before arriving at the snow limit
at about 1600 m above sea level you can see an impressing
waterfall. Breathtaking views, unspoiled nature, the crater
and the summit are the highlights of this tour.
