The Pomerape ( 6222 m ) is an extinct stratovolcano on the border between Chile and Bolivia in the area of the Atacama Desert . It is located in the Lauca National Park 145 km east of Arica in the western cordillera of the Central Andes. Together with the Parinacota volcano , which lies southwest of it, it forms the Payachata complex.
The summit of the Pomerape can be climbed relatively easily as a day tour from the village below it at an altitude of 4200 m . This can be reached either from Chile from Arica (bus connection to La Paz , but not recommended without sufficient acclimatization) or from La Paz. From the village, which only offers simple overnight accommodation, you can drive up to approx. 5000 m in an off-road vehicle and let them lead to the summit.
