Climbing Incahuasi: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

The house of the Incas

Incahuasi, which is a Quechua word, means "the house of the Incas". It was named like that because the Incas were the first to conquer the volcano's summit at the end of the 16th century. They did it to demonstrate their mastery over the villages and to practice sacred rituals.

Catamarca's Puna

You will enjoy a desert and rustic landscape, with a very wide flora and fauna. From Fiambalá to the base of the Incahuasi, you will discover new volcanoes, deep white salt flats, petrified black lava fields, lagoons and high altitude plains.

Proximity with Chile

From Fiambalá, you can cross to the neighboring country in less than 3 hours by car. The San Francisco pass is the perfect way to get to Chile and try other mountaineering experiences, such as the ascent to the San Francisco volcano or to the top of Ojos del Salado.

November to March

There are very cold winters and mild summers. It is an arid semi-desert zone with little rain, the winds come mainly from the west. It is an extremely dry environment and the humidity conditions decrease even more when the altitude is higher.
