Description

Socompa is a 6,051 m stratovolcano on the Argentina–Chile border in the Central Andes. Its identity, elevation and coordinates match Wikidata Q422765. The volcano is known for ancient collapse deposits, Inca remains and high-altitude fumarolic activity. An operator describes the normal route from the Retén as an ascent over loose volcanic material with staged camps. Horacio Rover’s account published in 1986 adds an abandoned attempt after illness and dwindling fluids. That account is historical experience, not current access information.

Pendekatan ekspedisi Salta — Tolar Grande / Caipe / Socompa

The program travels from Salta through San Antonio de los Cobres and Tolar Grande toward Socompa, with acclimatization and contingency days. This is an approach outline, not a verified navigation track. Confirm the itinerary because one day names Llullaillaco.
