Nous arriverons au sommet du Nevado COROPUNA à midi. I finally walked into Peru Adventure Tours and the folks there hooked me up. GROUP SERVICE ONLY: This kind of service includes transfer from your hotel to bus stop and then public bus transfer from Arequipa to Corire (4hrs) - Local transport from Corire to the petroglyphs of Toro Muerto - 6 hours of night bus journey from Corire to Coropuna (Pallarcocha 4800M) - Set up the tents in middle of night and rest. [241] Other poorly recorded legends are associated with Coropuna. [18] More regionally, the volcano is in the Cordillera Ampato [es], a mountain range which lies at an average of 100 kilometres (62 mi) from the Pacific coastline,[19] and contains nearly one hundred glaciers. There is a road going left that goes to Andaray. Coropuna will continue to loom larger and closer on your right as you go around the constant curves and through the many quebradas (dry gulches or small canyons). [60], Geomorphologically, Coropuna lies at the edge of the Altiplano high plateau on the Western Cordillera mountain range;[61] in the Central Andes this mountain chain is split into two ranges – the western and the eastern Cordillera – separated by the Altiplano. [183], The Peruvian Instituto Geológico Minero y Metalúrgico (INGEMMET) monitors Coropuna for activity.
Altitude: 6425 m / 21,079 ft Route: Coropuna Availability: All year Difficulty: Moderate People per Guide: 3 CoropunaIt is snowy third largest and highest in Peru, with an altitude of 6425 meters. [232] A royal residence, an oracle and a political unit were associated with Maucallacta,[233] and the oracle of Coropuna would have answered the rulers' queries all year round.
[43] This process created U-shaped valleys such as Buenavista, Cospanja and Tuilaqui on the southern flank, and glacial valleys such as Chaque, Mapa Mayo, Río Blanco, Torcom and Ullulo on the northern slopes. [198] Most precipitation is brought by easterly winds coming from the Amazon and the Atlantic Ocean, whereas the westerly winds that dominate during the dry season do not carry much moisture. [67], Coropuna has several summits (up to ten overall according to one count)[31] which exceed 6,000 m (20,000 ft) elevation,[55] plus a 5,623 m (18,448 ft) northern summit. [115], Glaciers in Peru are important sources of water for local communities and for hydropower generation, especially during the dry season; their shrinkage is thus of concern. If they aren't covered in dust, you can see their reddish bark, something like a manzanita tree. This is a good place to spend a few days before your climb if you need to acclimatize to the altitude. The mountains advice this option to get sure to reach the highest summit. Tentes pour deux personnes, crampons, piolets, flacon, trousse de premiers soins, ustensiles de cuisine, etc.
[88], Penitentes[19] reaching heights of two m (6 ft 7 in)[89] and seracs (blocks of ice in glaciers delimited by cracks) occur on the glaciers,[28] while debris cover is rare. The mountain was regarded as sacred by the Inca and several archaeological sites have been discovered there, including the Inca sites of Maucallacta and Acchaymarca. [28] Among these are funerary towers known as chullpas. [37] Ice cover makes discerning its structure difficult,[38] but about[38] six separate peaks[35][39][40] as well as six not readily recognisable summit craters have been counted. With an altitude of 6425m. They may be covered by snow early in the season but at the end of the dry season, they should be visible. I left Peru in the beginning of 2010 and haven't been able to update any of the information since then. Soon after this you will see some small trees, the only ones that grow on the high plain and somehow thriving in between the rocks. PALLARCOCHA BASE CAMP - COROPUNA BASE CAMP (5200M) Today you can wake up around 7AM for breakfast and then packing all our camping gear we start a nice uphill trek for about 4 hours to reach the second base camp (5200M) and get closer to Mount Coropuna – Today the way up will be gradual considered medium level and accompanied with nice scenery as view of Solimana peak. [1][66][40] Mountaineering sources also cite an elevation of 6,425 m (21,079 ft) for the El Toro summit,[67][68] which would make Coropuna the 22nd highest mountain in the Andes. [32] Three separate moraine generations[34] and about five separate glacial stages have been recorded on the volcano. Check out the above linked pages to find more information.
Créer un compte Créer un compte . [45], There are several collapse scarps on the mountain, especially around its central sector. [146] Complicated processes[150] of crystallisation and interaction with Earth's crust appear to have produced the magma. [17], Coropuna rises two km (1.2 mi) above the surrounding terrain[2][32] from a base elevation of 4,500 m (14,800 ft),[14] and about 3.5 km (2.2 mi) on the southern side where the Rio Llacllaja has incised the underlying basement[2][32] almost to the foot of the volcano, forming sharp, amphitheatre-like valleys.
[44] Glacial valleys of Coropuna are up to 300 m (980 ft) deep and seven km (4.3 mi) long. Clockwise around Coropuna, these include Quebrada Chauqui-Huayco, Rio Amayani on the northern side, Quebrada Chinchina/Infernillo, Quebrada Jollpa, Quebrada Caspanja with the lake Laguna Caracara, Quebrada Buena Vista, Quebrada Tuallqui, Rio Testane on the southern flank, Rio de Huayllaura on the southwestern flank, Quebrada del Apacheta,[17] Quebrada Sigue Chico[51] and Quebrada Sepulturayoc on the western flank. [124] Those close to the village of Viraco may date back 40,000–45,000 years and thus be part of an earlier glaciation,[125] and old dates of 47,000–31,000 and 61,000–37,000 years ago in the Huayllaura and Sigue Chico valleys could reflect even larger glacier expansions during marine isotope stage 3 or 4. [111] They covered the Pampa Pucaylla northeast from Coropuna and descended the Jellojello valley and other valleys to the east. [222] Inca sites are often found at higher elevations than the sites left by preceding civilisations; the highest one is located at 5,700 m (18,700 ft) elevation[223] and there is evidence of Inca presence to 6,200 m (20,300 ft) elevation. There will be a dirt road that comes off to the right. [28] Coropuna overlies the margin of a buried caldera. [28] There are large cirques around Cerro Cuncaicha. [126], Glaciers retreated after the end of the last glacial maximum 20,000–18,000 years ago and then re-expanded. Nos efforts seront récompensés par une vue sur la cordillères de Ampato, Cordillera del Chila, Cordillère del Huanzo et volcanique de la Cordillère. [7] Coropuna is normally ascended from Laguna Pallarcocha, from where a route along the western rib and glacier slopes leads up to a foresummit and then to the main summit. It uses data such as the composition of hot spring waters[184] and the shape of the volcano as estimated by satellite images,[185] GPS and geodesy,[186] as well as information from five seismic stations. DEUXIÈME JOUR: Après un petit-déjeuner matinal, nous débuterons notre randonnée. After the stream crossing, turn to the right in front of the shell of a building (which may have people living in it). [14] Individual ignimbrites crop out mainly in valleys; on the highlands they are buried beneath more recent volcanic products. The left fork goes to the highest base camp at 16,470 feet, which is just before the end of the road. [57], No eruptions of Coropuna during historical[165] or modern times are known,[131] and the volcano was considered to be long-extinct. Termal spa is to be found there, as well as caves, waterfalls and other nice places. Retour à Arequipa la nuit.
[22][d], Estimates on the height of Coropuna have changed over time.
[177] With the exception of the last two, which are situated in glacial terrain, these hot springs rise within valleys via rock fractures.
I live there, feel free to email with any questions or if you want to visit. [55] Southerly cold waves can sometimes reach Coropuna, leaving traces in ice cores in the form of southern pollen. [94] There are over six hundred volcanoes in southern Peru[138] and the entire Cordillera Occidental from southern Peru to northern Chile is covered with volcanic rocks, although present-day volcanic activity is scarce. [199], The amount of precipitation is modulated by the El Niño Southern Oscillation. Estimates published in 2018 imply that the ice cap will persist until about 2120. [104] Between 1980 and 2014 the ice cap shrank at a rate of 0.409 km2/a (0.158 sq mi/a)[78] with a 2015 estimate amounting to 0.5 km2/a (0.19 sq mi/a),[105] and a brief slowdown observed during the late 1990s and early 2000s. There are several tent sites. Aconcagua mountain page is a child of the 'Aconcagua Group' and the 'Seven Summits.'

[32], Regional climate oscillations are recorded in the ice masses of Coropuna. So if you go to Coropuna, do not forget to make the chicha (local alcoholic beverage) and leafs of coca offerings to Apu Coropuna to ensure a good welcom e of the sacred mountain. From Chuquibamba the (sometimes rough) gravel road climbs up to about 13,000 feet to the high plain, where you get your first view of Coropuna, the Chila range, and if the weather is clear, Ampato. If you start at the high base camp, the mountain can easily be climbed in two days if you are in good shape and are acclimated to the altitude.
Here we stay the second night. [97] Cryoturbation,[98] gelifluction, patterned grounds,[31] solifluction[99] and other periglacial landforms are noticeable[31] at over 4,500 m (14,800 ft) elevation. Climbing Volcano Coropuna 6425 m. Coropuna volcano (6425 m), located in the “Cordillera Volcanica”, is the largest and highest volcano in Peru and the third highest summit in entire country, but the most accessible of them. Climbing Coropuna. Nous apprécierons la face sud-ouest et la crête Hiram Bingham, puis nous arriverons à notre camping basé à 5 200 m d’altitude avec une vue impressionnante sur Solimana et en arrière-plan le sanctuaire Inca de Sara Sara.
You can acclimatize spending time in Cusco (3400 m) or in Puno (3800 m) before travelling to Arequipa. [175] There is no evidence of Holocene tephras in peat bog drill cores[70] and volcanism at Coropuna since the last ice age has been primarily effusive. You won't be charged yet. Le transport en 4x4 restera dans le camp de base en raison d’une urgence et le retour aura lieu avant le quatrième jour. It is then two hours before getting to Basecamp of the standard route. 4 950 m.d’altitude. [207] Peat bogs are present on the southern and southwestern sides of Coropuna, and some of these have been drilled to obtain sediment cores. If the climb up took to much time, we try to reach the place where we camped the first night. [131], Lava flows are also a potential danger at Coropuna.

American school teacher Annie Peck actually climbed the mountain ahead of them, earlier in the year, but according to Jill Neate in “Mountaineering In The Andes”, she climbed two lower peaks, placing a 'Votes For Women' banner on one of them. [130] During the Little Ice Age, glaciers on Coropuna did not expand much, although some rock glaciers might have formed during that time. As you get closer to the mountain, the hills will turn to many shades of red and yellow, besides the normal brown and black. [234] The Maucallacta site was probably the most important one at Coropuna; the western summit today known as "La Niña" was apparently also significant. [72] In 1910 it was believed that the volcano was over 7,000 m (23,000 ft) high and thus the highest mountain in South America ahead of Aconcagua,[73][74] although a North American expedition during the preceding year had determined that Coropuna was not the highest as they only found an elevation of 6,615 m (21,703 ft) and Huascaran is higher than this.
Nous arriverons au sommet du Nevado COROPUNA à midi. I finally walked into Peru Adventure Tours and the folks there hooked me up. GROUP SERVICE ONLY: This kind of service includes transfer from your hotel to bus stop and then public bus transfer from Arequipa to Corire (4hrs) - Local transport from Corire to the petroglyphs of Toro Muerto - 6 hours of night bus journey from Corire to Coropuna (Pallarcocha 4800M) - Set up the tents in middle of night and rest. [241] Other poorly recorded legends are associated with Coropuna. [18] More regionally, the volcano is in the Cordillera Ampato [es], a mountain range which lies at an average of 100 kilometres (62 mi) from the Pacific coastline,[19] and contains nearly one hundred glaciers. There is a road going left that goes to Andaray. Coropuna will continue to loom larger and closer on your right as you go around the constant curves and through the many quebradas (dry gulches or small canyons). [60], Geomorphologically, Coropuna lies at the edge of the Altiplano high plateau on the Western Cordillera mountain range;[61] in the Central Andes this mountain chain is split into two ranges – the western and the eastern Cordillera – separated by the Altiplano. [183], The Peruvian Instituto Geológico Minero y Metalúrgico (INGEMMET) monitors Coropuna for activity.
Altitude: 6425 m / 21,079 ft Route: Coropuna Availability: All year Difficulty: Moderate People per Guide: 3 CoropunaIt is snowy third largest and highest in Peru, with an altitude of 6425 meters. [232] A royal residence, an oracle and a political unit were associated with Maucallacta,[233] and the oracle of Coropuna would have answered the rulers' queries all year round.
[43] This process created U-shaped valleys such as Buenavista, Cospanja and Tuilaqui on the southern flank, and glacial valleys such as Chaque, Mapa Mayo, Río Blanco, Torcom and Ullulo on the northern slopes. [198] Most precipitation is brought by easterly winds coming from the Amazon and the Atlantic Ocean, whereas the westerly winds that dominate during the dry season do not carry much moisture. [67], Coropuna has several summits (up to ten overall according to one count)[31] which exceed 6,000 m (20,000 ft) elevation,[55] plus a 5,623 m (18,448 ft) northern summit. [115], Glaciers in Peru are important sources of water for local communities and for hydropower generation, especially during the dry season; their shrinkage is thus of concern. If they aren't covered in dust, you can see their reddish bark, something like a manzanita tree. This is a good place to spend a few days before your climb if you need to acclimatize to the altitude. The mountains advice this option to get sure to reach the highest summit. Tentes pour deux personnes, crampons, piolets, flacon, trousse de premiers soins, ustensiles de cuisine, etc.
[88], Penitentes[19] reaching heights of two m (6 ft 7 in)[89] and seracs (blocks of ice in glaciers delimited by cracks) occur on the glaciers,[28] while debris cover is rare. The mountain was regarded as sacred by the Inca and several archaeological sites have been discovered there, including the Inca sites of Maucallacta and Acchaymarca. [28] Among these are funerary towers known as chullpas. [37] Ice cover makes discerning its structure difficult,[38] but about[38] six separate peaks[35][39][40] as well as six not readily recognisable summit craters have been counted. With an altitude of 6425m. They may be covered by snow early in the season but at the end of the dry season, they should be visible. I left Peru in the beginning of 2010 and haven't been able to update any of the information since then. Soon after this you will see some small trees, the only ones that grow on the high plain and somehow thriving in between the rocks. PALLARCOCHA BASE CAMP - COROPUNA BASE CAMP (5200M) Today you can wake up around 7AM for breakfast and then packing all our camping gear we start a nice uphill trek for about 4 hours to reach the second base camp (5200M) and get closer to Mount Coropuna – Today the way up will be gradual considered medium level and accompanied with nice scenery as view of Solimana peak. [1][66][40] Mountaineering sources also cite an elevation of 6,425 m (21,079 ft) for the El Toro summit,[67][68] which would make Coropuna the 22nd highest mountain in the Andes. [32] Three separate moraine generations[34] and about five separate glacial stages have been recorded on the volcano. Check out the above linked pages to find more information.
Créer un compte Créer un compte . [45], There are several collapse scarps on the mountain, especially around its central sector. [146] Complicated processes[150] of crystallisation and interaction with Earth's crust appear to have produced the magma. [17], Coropuna rises two km (1.2 mi) above the surrounding terrain[2][32] from a base elevation of 4,500 m (14,800 ft),[14] and about 3.5 km (2.2 mi) on the southern side where the Rio Llacllaja has incised the underlying basement[2][32] almost to the foot of the volcano, forming sharp, amphitheatre-like valleys.
[44] Glacial valleys of Coropuna are up to 300 m (980 ft) deep and seven km (4.3 mi) long. Clockwise around Coropuna, these include Quebrada Chauqui-Huayco, Rio Amayani on the northern side, Quebrada Chinchina/Infernillo, Quebrada Jollpa, Quebrada Caspanja with the lake Laguna Caracara, Quebrada Buena Vista, Quebrada Tuallqui, Rio Testane on the southern flank, Rio de Huayllaura on the southwestern flank, Quebrada del Apacheta,[17] Quebrada Sigue Chico[51] and Quebrada Sepulturayoc on the western flank. [124] Those close to the village of Viraco may date back 40,000–45,000 years and thus be part of an earlier glaciation,[125] and old dates of 47,000–31,000 and 61,000–37,000 years ago in the Huayllaura and Sigue Chico valleys could reflect even larger glacier expansions during marine isotope stage 3 or 4. [111] They covered the Pampa Pucaylla northeast from Coropuna and descended the Jellojello valley and other valleys to the east. [222] Inca sites are often found at higher elevations than the sites left by preceding civilisations; the highest one is located at 5,700 m (18,700 ft) elevation[223] and there is evidence of Inca presence to 6,200 m (20,300 ft) elevation. There will be a dirt road that comes off to the right. [28] Coropuna overlies the margin of a buried caldera. [28] There are large cirques around Cerro Cuncaicha. [126], Glaciers retreated after the end of the last glacial maximum 20,000–18,000 years ago and then re-expanded. Nos efforts seront récompensés par une vue sur la cordillères de Ampato, Cordillera del Chila, Cordillère del Huanzo et volcanique de la Cordillère. [7] Coropuna is normally ascended from Laguna Pallarcocha, from where a route along the western rib and glacier slopes leads up to a foresummit and then to the main summit. It uses data such as the composition of hot spring waters[184] and the shape of the volcano as estimated by satellite images,[185] GPS and geodesy,[186] as well as information from five seismic stations. DEUXIÈME JOUR: Après un petit-déjeuner matinal, nous débuterons notre randonnée. After the stream crossing, turn to the right in front of the shell of a building (which may have people living in it). [14] Individual ignimbrites crop out mainly in valleys; on the highlands they are buried beneath more recent volcanic products. The left fork goes to the highest base camp at 16,470 feet, which is just before the end of the road. [57], No eruptions of Coropuna during historical[165] or modern times are known,[131] and the volcano was considered to be long-extinct. Termal spa is to be found there, as well as caves, waterfalls and other nice places. Retour à Arequipa la nuit.
[22][d], Estimates on the height of Coropuna have changed over time.
[177] With the exception of the last two, which are situated in glacial terrain, these hot springs rise within valleys via rock fractures.
I live there, feel free to email with any questions or if you want to visit. [55] Southerly cold waves can sometimes reach Coropuna, leaving traces in ice cores in the form of southern pollen. [94] There are over six hundred volcanoes in southern Peru[138] and the entire Cordillera Occidental from southern Peru to northern Chile is covered with volcanic rocks, although present-day volcanic activity is scarce. [199], The amount of precipitation is modulated by the El Niño Southern Oscillation. Estimates published in 2018 imply that the ice cap will persist until about 2120. [104] Between 1980 and 2014 the ice cap shrank at a rate of 0.409 km2/a (0.158 sq mi/a)[78] with a 2015 estimate amounting to 0.5 km2/a (0.19 sq mi/a),[105] and a brief slowdown observed during the late 1990s and early 2000s. There are several tent sites. Aconcagua mountain page is a child of the 'Aconcagua Group' and the 'Seven Summits.'
