Description

If you are an advanced mountaineer, this expedition to South America’s tallest mountains is a dream come true. Whether you wish to prepare for an 8,000-meter ascent or simply challenge yourself and achieve a personal goal, this program is an excellent opportunity for you.

The program offers you the chance to reach the summits of the 3 highest peaks in South America: Aconcagua (6,962 meters), Nevado Ojos del Salado (6,893 meters) and Mount Pissis (6,793 meters). Aconcagua and Pissis are located in Argentina, while Ojos del Salado is situated in the border with Chile. All of them belong to the Andes.

If you come with me on this expedition, we will spend 33 days exploring this amazing mountain range. The meeting point will be Copiapó, a city in the Atacama Desert, in northern Chile. Please, take a look at the bottom of the page for a detailed description of each day’s activities.

Finally, consider that this expedition is not for everyone. To take part in it, you must have an excellent level of fitness as well as a lot of mountaineering experience.
