Expedition Ojos del Salado
The 6-day expedition Ojos del Salado is exclusive for experienced mountaineers with solid acclimatization, having already faced peaks higher than 6,500 meters such as Aconcagua, Llullaillaco, or Tupungato in a period of no more than a week. This route presents significant risks due to extreme altitude within a few days and unpredictable conditions, making it suitable only for those already adapted with high altitude challenges. Risks include severe altitude sickness, adverse weather conditions, and technical terrain, so it is crucial that participants are fully prepared and aware of the physical and mental demands they will face.
Features
- Program specially designed for people to come from Aconcagua or similar acclimatization conditions.

- We will cross a huge distance of the desert, thanks to the support of our 4×4 truck.
- We will save a lot of energy because we can drive until last camp Tejos.
