OJOS DEL SALADO VOLCANO, 6 893 m
with acclimatization in Plomo Mount - Chile

OJOS DEL SALADO VOLCANO EXPEDITION with acclimatization at Cerro Plomo - Chile  We have designed this program with two important summits, for those who want to go beyond their own limits and conquer the heights of the Andes. First, Cerro Plomo, a 5424 meter-high hill, a classical and beautiful ascent in the Central Andes. It was also one of the southern altars of sacrifice from Inca Culture.

The acclimatization process on this peak will be very useful for the team to learn about altitude conditions before ascending the highest volcano of the world, Ojos del Salado, 6893 meters high. This expedition will also take mountaineers to a great variety of landscapes and nature, from the craggy mountains and green valleys of the Central Andes to the immensity of the desert and the gigantic volcanoes.
