The Highest Volcano in the World
Ojos del Salado volcano is the highest summit across Chile and the second summit in America, and it is also the tallest volcano in the world. That’s why this is one of the most desired challenges among mountaineers around the world. Ojos del Salado is almost as tall as Mt. Aconcagua which surpasses it by 60mts only. The volcano is located in the borderline between Chile and Argentina, in the Chilean Atacama region, on of the most active mining regions in the country. Inside the National Park Nevado de Tres Cruces we can spot the Negro Francisco Lake and the Maricunga salt-flat which serves as refuge to three flamingo species. The closest city is Copiapó, where we can find everything we need to start our Ojos del Salado climbing expedition

Private Service: You choose the best convenience date for you and your group. Price depending on number of people booked.
We’ll meet you at the airport or your hotel where you’ll have a talk with our guide in order to crystal clear any doubt clouding your mind and to check your equipment is proper and fitted for the purposes, drive to Laguna Verde.
We will drive to the Tejos refuge (depending on the conditions) and from there, we will take an
acclimatization hike along the Ojos del Salado path, reaching approximately 6,300 m.
Reserved day in case of bad weather for a summit attempt or a free day at Laguna Verde to
extend acclimatization. Today we also have the opportunity to review rope and knot
techniques.
We will set out early in the morning to reach the Ojos del Salado summit (6,893masl). On this
day we will see how all of our hard work flourishes. All the previous acclimatization process is
to endure this SO challenging summit. No doubt about it, this is the hardest day in our
expedition. We will be driving to Tejos Refuge, ascending 1,000 meters, crossing a glacier, rock
climbing, reaching the summit and descending to Laguna Verde, all in the same day.
Estimated time for the ascent is between 9 and 12 hours.
On the last day of this high mountain adventure, calmly we will take-down our camp and head
back to Copiapó, leaving behind us this giant, the highest summit in Chile and the tallest
volcano in the world.
The Ojos del Salado climbing expedition include the following services:
