Located on the border between Argentina and Chile, Marmolejo is a mountain in the Andes that reaches 6,108 meters of altitude. Famous for its fantastic glacier, the stratovolcano is the southernmost 6,000-meter peak in the world.

One of the distinctive characteristics of this volcano is its glacier on the top. To reach the summit, we must cross the glacier and face a long ascent. Although challenging, the results will be absolutely rewarding. From the summit, we’ll be able to contemplate a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding valleys and mountains.
