Peak Pantojo, Volcanic mountain in Los Lagos Region, Chile
Peak Pantojo is a volcano in Los Lagos Region that rises 2,024 meters above sea level. Its distinctive pointed summit and extensive lava flows define the mountain's dramatic appearance.
The mountain formed during the Pleistocene through volcanic activity that created its basaltic stratovolcano structure. This geological past continues to shape its current appearance and surrounding landscape.
Peak Pantojo sits within protected lands spanning two countries, contributing to both Chilean and Argentine natural heritage through Puyehue and Nahuel Huapi National Parks.
The climb demands hiking and climbing experience, starting from Paso Cardenal Antonio Samoré. Visitors should prepare for changing elevation and steep terrain throughout the ascent.
The summit route includes five distinct climbing sections that transition from forest areas to bare rock faces. This variety makes each segment a different challenge for climbers.
