Description

Volcán Láscar is an active 5,592 m stratovolcano in Chile’s Antofagasta region, within the Central Volcanic Zone of the Andes. Wikidata confirms the mountain’s identity, elevation, coordinates and summit photograph. Climbing accounts distinguish the crater rim from the highest summit; a crater excursion does not necessarily reach the summit. On 6 March 2026, CKELAR reported a yellow alert and a 5 km safety perimeter following increased seismicity. The climbing material here documents experiences and does not establish that access is currently open.

Routes

Ascenso Normal (via Laguna Lejía; catatan 2015 / 2015 account)

Berat: ketinggian, tanah lepas / Strenuous: altitude, loose ground

≈3 jam naik + 1 jam turun / ≈3 h ascent + 1 h descent (2015)

Petroff’s GPS account starts around 4,930 m: 2.3 km/+560 m to the crater rim, then 0.6 km/+110 m to the summit. His group’s timing is not universal. This is a 2015 record; present access requires a separate check.

Climbing Experiences

This collection includes five Láscar videos and Matthew Petroff’s 2015 ascent account. That account distinguishes crater rim from summit; historical experiences do not confirm present access.
