Adventure to the highest altitude active volcano (Ojos del Salado) in the world & the second highest peak in the Andes!
This is a great introduction to serious trekking and climbing for beginners & intermediates to the discipline of mountain climbing & trekking.
Sited on the Argentinian & Chilean border: Nevado Ojos del Salado stands at a proud 6,893m altitude; the trekking and altitude provide the real challenge on this expedition with a small section of rock climbing at the summit of the route.
Although Ojos del Salado presides on the edges of the Atacama Desert; a very dry region; it is still famed for having the world’s highest crater lake on the eastern side of the volcano, situated at 6,390m.
Following a program of acclimatisation, you’ll set out to make the summit of Ojos del Salado in good timing but always with respect to the altitude.

Tips for crew
Any additional extras
| Joining Arrangements | There will be a pre-trek briefing held usually the evening before departure, at your hotel, to go over the details of the trek and any specific requirements not already captured. |
| Food & Water | Prior to setting off we recommend you steer clear of street food and only eat in good restaurants, to avoid any stomach complaints. Likewise with tap water, it is largely untreated, please only consume bottled water only or sterilised water if you have the right equipment. |
| Special Diets | We’ll ensure that we cater for all of your dietary needs, at the point of booking we’ll collect this information from you. We can secure special menu requests also for your trek party. |
| Trekking Crew | We are able to customise our treks to suit you, but usually our treks are guided by a professional bilingual guide, mountain cook, arriero (horseman) and mules to carry all equipment (passenger horses also available on request). They become a large part of your trekking expedition and it’s a great experience working together. |
