Acamarachi, Volcanic peak in Atacama Region, Chile
The symmetrical Acamarachi volcano rises 6,046 meters above sea level, featuring steep upper flanks and a lava dome on its northern side.
Italian mountaineers Aldo Bonacossa and Remigio Gerard completed the first recorded ascent of Acamarachi on March 14, 1939.
The summit contains multiple ceremonial platforms arranged in a cloverleaf pattern, marking this mountain as a significant Inca sanctuary.
Expeditions to Acamarachi require groups of four to eight participants and typically extend over twelve days between March and June or September and January.
The summit crater houses a small lake measuring 10 to 15 meters in depth, maintained in liquid form by underlying magmatic heat.
