In the high plateau of the Tarapacá Region, among volcanoes, lagoons and sacred hills of the Aymara people, lies the Isluga Volcano National Park. This protected wilderness area, created on January 3, 1967, is home to one of the most impressive concentrations of biodiversity associated with the high Andean ecosystem, including fauna species such as the Andean tagua, suri, vicuñas and three species of flamingos that are in the conservation category. While the main flora of the place is the queñoa and llareta, among others.

This park is dominated by the Aymara worldview and cultural heritage, such as the town of Isluga and its characteristic church declared a Historic Monument, recognized for being a relevant ceremonial center in which religious festivities are commemorated.

This small lagoon is located 26 km from Colchane (from where this route begins). Next to the lagoon is a small hamlet of the same name, made up of about 12 stone, adobe and mud houses, most of which are uninhabited. Consider the altitude, which for some can cause some discomfort.

The route is along the path marked by Conaf, in the town of Enquelga. The ascent has a marked path to the main fumarole of the volcano, which makes it very easy to follow the route. The complexity of the volcano is in the sandy soil, and of course the altitude (may need acclimatization). There is very little vegetation, you can see some cacti. Upon reaching 4,600m, you must climb the left side of the box and continue west.
