Cerro Pissis (6795 m) 15-day guided ascent in Catamarca

Cerro Pissis is an inactive stratovolcano embellishing the Andes range, sitting between La Rioja and Catamarca provinces in Argentina. With its 6795 m is the third highest volcano in the Southern and Western hemispheres and one of the highest in the world.

The wonderful landscapes around are volcanic, with multi-color lava, a few lagoons and a general extreme dryness. The flora is almost none, but its fauna is pretty diverse: vicuñas, guanacos, donkeys, flamingos, condors and many other bird species.

I invite you to admire all that from a height of 6795 m, which we can reach in 15 exciting days. We will begin in Mendoza and travel to Catamarca, where our real adventure will start. It will take us 15 days ascending and descending, and 14 nights camping in the most breathtaking desert landscape.

If you want to spend two weeks in a remote place while ascending an incredible volcano, please sign up. The only pre-requisite to join is to be in good physical condition and to have some experience in mountaineering.

I also offer a 15-day mountaineering program to the highest active volcano in the world: Ojos del Salado (6803m).
