Climb your first 5000m summit! This expedition is ideal for a first high altitude experience.

This climb is a perfect way to prepare you for other major expeditions (Tupungato, Aconcagua\u2026.) and offers great scenic interest as you can see some of the major summits of the Central Andes and Santiago by night!<\/p>\n
