Pomerape

The mountain rises to 6,282 meters above sea level, featuring a symmetrical cone structure with steep slopes covered by snow and glaciers.

The volcano formed its main cone through multiple eruptions, with the last recorded volcanic activity occurring approximately 106,000 years ago.

Local Aymara communities regard Pomerape and its neighboring peak Parinacota as two sister mountains, forming the Payachata volcanic complex.

Climbers access the summit through the east ridge route, establishing base camp at 5,300 meters between Pomerape and Parinacota volcanoes.

The northern slope contains smaller glaciers than other faces, while the southern face presents technical climbing sections with 50-degree snow slopes.
