San José, Stratovolcano in Metropolitan Region, Chile.
Located 60 kilometers east of Santiago, San José volcano reaches an elevation of 5,856 meters with two peaks and multiple craters.
The first recorded ascent to San José's main summit occurred in 1931 when mountaineers Otto Pfenniger and Sebastian Krückel reached the crater.
The mountain holds deep meaning for Andean communities, with traditional stories connecting the peaks to ancient mountain deities and natural forces.
The climbing season extends from November through March, requiring proper mountaineering equipment and acclimatization due to the extreme altitude.
The volcano features the Nieves Negras glacier and four distinct craters, with the active crater showing continuous monitoring by geological stations.
