Copiapó volcano, Stratovolcano in Atacama Region, Chile.
The Copiapó Volcano rises in the Atacama Desert with multiple volcanic cones and extensive lava formations spread across its slopes.
Polish mountaineers S. Osiecki, J. Wojsznis, W. Paryski, and J. Szczepanski completed the first recorded ascent of Copiapó Volcano in 1937.
The mountain contains Incan archaeological structures near its summit, indicating the historical presence of indigenous civilizations in this high-altitude region.
Climbers access the volcano via Route 31 from Copiapó, establishing a base camp at 4,100 meters before tackling the technical ascent.
The volcano features seven parasitic cones surrounding its main crater, demonstrating its past volcanic activity in the Atacama Desert.
