“Ojos del Salado” Volcano is the highest volcano in the world and the second-highest mountain in the Americas, surpassed only by Aconcagua, by just 70 meters.

It is the highest mountain in Chile and offers one of the most incredible views of our Andes, full of stunning landscapes, lagoons, hot springs, flamingos and vicuñas, all of which are part of our expedition.

We enter through Catamarca (Argentina), where we will carry out part of our acclimatization, and then travel to Chile to complete the expedition.

An incredible landscape, surrounded by the highest volcanoes in the world and the tallest mountains in the Americas.
