Reach the top of the highest peaks
Climbing the highest peaks of the Andes Mountain Range is a challenge that every year attracts climbers and mountaineers from the world over. Mountains, hills and volcanoes over 6 thousand metres high and the giant Aconcagua are the great goals of the High Andes.
If you are an experienced mountaineer, set out for the top. Or else, enjoy the landscape by doing long or short treks. Always remember to hire certified guides for information about the routes and the conditions of the terrain.
