The classic route to climb the Licancabur Volcano is up the southwest side of Verde Lagoon (4350 m.a.s.l.) under the east slope of the Juriques Volcano, neighbour of the Licancabur, in Bolivia.

From the lagoon, we advance north, on the western shore, on a 4x4 only trail, from where we can see the ascent route.  Afterwards, the trail takes a turn west and finally swings south, rising through a sandy ravine up to the village of Licancabur, 8 kilometres from the cone of the Licancabur volcano and the Juriques volcano, in Bolivia.

From the Bolivian refuge, the trail begins on the north east side of the Licancabur, where the first ruins at the base of the volcanic cone are located. The trail rises in a zig zag directly to the summit, through loose material at a 40º incline.  At the end of the zig-zag, there are large rocks, through which the trail becomes lost at times.  The path is south east, to a false summit.  From this point, the summit ridge which is towards the northeast continues to the northeast end of the crater, which is the highest point of the volcanic cone, in which we find a beautiful lagoon.  Vestiges of Inca artefacts have been found here.  The view of the Atacama Salt Flat and the Andes mountains is breathtaking.
