Overview

Expedition Ojos del Salado

This 5-day expedition is designed for experienced mountaineers with prior acclimatization, having already climbed peaks above 6,500 meters like Aconcagua, Llullaillaco, or Tupungato within the past week. Due to its extreme altitude and unpredictable conditions, this route is suitable only for those with high-altitude experience. Risks include severe altitude sickness, adverse weather, and technical terrain, making it essential for participants to be fully prepared.

Features

Tailored for those acclimatized at Aconcagua or similar conditions.
Fixed departures only.
Camping at Laguna Verde with natural hot springs for relaxation.
Wildlife sightings: foxes, flamingos, llamas, etc.
Exposure to extreme desert conditions and low temperatures.
Support from a 4×4 truck for desert crossing.
Energy-saving transport to the last camp at Tejos.
