This volcano holds the title of the highest on Earth and is the second-highest summit in South America.
Getting there is no walk in the park; we’ll need a four-wheel truck to navigate through breathtaking landscapes of jade lagoons and expansive salt flats. Keep your eyes ready for the diverse birdlife that calls this high-altitude plateau home, all while being surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Andes.
Once we’ve arrived at Ojos del Salado’s high camps, we’ll discover some basic shelters frequently used by mountaineers. The journey to the summit is challenging but not overly technical, except for a rocky stretch just before reaching the top. This is a perfect option for those enjoying big challenges with minimal logistical support.
