What is more, in its andes, you'll find the highest volcanoes on earth; sacred places for ancient native communities and a new pilgrimage area for modern mountaineers, who enjoy vast high-altitude landscapes.
Its remoteness and immensity require first-hand knowledge and precise logistical assistance and we know how to do it.

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.

High snowy peaks, archaeology, and a few yet undiscovered enigmas define this region. This is one of the +6000 meters peaks most attempted in the Andes mountain range, and surely one of the most accessible. However, this doesn’t mean is an easy summit to reach, as its height and steepness are significant, and the effort required is proportional.
