Itinerary description

Socompa Volcano is an isolated mountain on the border between Chile and Argentina in the Atacama Puna. This Tracklog brings the way through the Argentinian side, reaching the Border Pass through the "Corniza de Caipe".
This ascent was done only once, with a big unevenness. If you want to do it again, make sure you are well acclimated.
