Choquelimpie, Stratovolcano in Andes, Chile
Choquelimpie rises to 4777 meters in northern Chile, featuring multiple layers of andesite and dacite rock formations within the Andean mountain range.
The volcano dates from the Miocene period and has experienced significant erosion, reducing its height from an estimated 6000 meters to its current elevation.
The National Las Vicuñas Reserve, established in 1983, encompasses this volcano within its protected territory of 209,131 hectares in the western Andes.
Visitors need specialized mountain equipment and acclimatization periods due to extreme weather conditions and high altitude challenges in the Andean environment.
The mountain contains mineral deposits formed through hydrothermal processes, including gold and silver ores discovered during extensive geological surveys.
