Few volcanoes in the world allow you to visit them from the inside. The Malacara volcano is one of those few.
It is a trek that allows us to enter the volcano through its gullies and from there understand its origin and evolution.
The trek is guided, has a medium level of difficulty and lasts approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. During the tour you have to climb iron stairs placed to pass large stones. The walk to the viewpoint is about 400m long and has a slope of 45°, which also means an effort.
Self-guided trail of approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, of low difficulty. Favored by being at the highest part of the Chihuido slope, we will observe during the tour the wonderful panoramic views that the slope offers, discovering along the way enchanted viewpoints, crystal-clear waterfalls, stone gullies marked by the passage of time and a large number of marine fossils.
