Volcán Isluga National Park

The national park extends across 174,744 hectares of Andean terrain, containing volcanoes, lakes, and mountains at altitudes between 2,100 and 5,550 meters.

The Chilean government established Volcán Isluga National Park in 1967 to protect the high-altitude ecosystems and geological formations of the Tarapacá Region.

The park territory includes several Aymara ceremonial settlements, where traditional practices continue through alpaca herding, textile production, and religious ceremonies.

Visitors can explore two marked trails: the 600-meter Laguna Arabilla path for wildlife observation and the 3-kilometer Pukará de Isluga route to mountain viewpoints.

The Puchuldiza geothermal field within the park contains geysers and thermal springs reaching temperatures of 85 degrees Celsius, which form ice blocks during winter.
