San Pablo

San Pablo rises to 6092 meters in the Andes mountain range, forming a twin volcano system with San Pedro through a high connecting ridge.

German mountaineer Hans Berger completed the first recorded ascent of San Pablo volcano in September 1910, establishing the initial climbing route.

The mountain holds deep meaning for local Andean communities who regard the volcanic formations as central elements of their traditional belief systems.

Climbers need specialized high-altitude equipment and proper acclimatization to reach the summit due to the extreme elevation and weather conditions.

The central crater contains an active glacier, while the volcano maintains fumarolic activity beneath its eroded surface structure.

Elevation above the sea: 6,092 m
