Mountain type: Gunung berapi (stratovolcano andesit–dasit aktif)
Volcanic?: Yes — volcano
Coordinates: -16.3486, -70.9022
Difficulty: Pendakian tinggi ke bibir kawah; kelanjutan menuju titik tertinggi dapat melibatkan batu lepas dan lintasan terekspos.
Best Season: Musim kering; operator menyebut April–November, dengan kemungkinan salju di luar periode itu. Kondisi vulkanik tetap menentukan akses.
Permits & Rules: Konfirmasikan akses dan pembatasan terbaru dengan otoritas setempat serta laporan IGP; halaman tur bukan bukti izin memasuki kawah.
Hazards: Erupsi, abu dan gas vulkanik; ketinggian, salju musiman, batu lepas serta lintasan sempit terekspos di sekitar kawah.

Description

Ubinas is a 5,672 m stratovolcano in Peru's Moquegua Region, within the Andes. Wikidata confirms its identity, coordinates, elevation and country. IGP describes it as Peru's most active volcano and records the end of the 2023–2025 eruption episode on 3 March 2025, when the alert level was lowered to green; this historical record does not verify access today. Reaching the crater rim is distinct from continuing to the highest point: community climbing notes describe unstable rock and exposed sections beyond the initial rim. Check current monitoring reports and access decisions before planning a visit.

Routes

Jalur Normal 2 Hari — via basecamp sisi timur laut (dari Arequipa)

Trek ketinggian; kondisi salju dan vulkanik memengaruhi kesulitan

2 hari / 1 malam

The operator itinerary approaches from Arequipa via Chiguata and Laguna de Salinas to a northeast camp around 4,900 m. Day two reaches a crater-rim point listed at about 5,444 m, with three hours up and one hour down. This objective does not establish an ascent of the 5,672 m high point. Confirm access; snow may require crampons and an ice axe.

Climbing Experiences

This collection includes two Spanish-language ascent videos, operator information, a community guide and Vic Hanson’s firsthand account from 16 November 2008. A key distinction is that the crater rim and the highest point are different objectives. Older accounts and tour listings provide travel context but do not establish that the crater is accessible today.
