Overview

Expedition Ojos del Salado

This 5-day expedition is designed for experienced mountaineers with prior acclimatisation, having already climbed peaks above 6,500 metres 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 acclimatised 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 lorry for desert crossing.
Energy-saving transport to the last camp at Tejos.
