Ojos del Salado 2024-2025

Охос.jpeg

Ojos del Salado - the highest volcano on our planet and the second highest peak of South America, after Mt Aconcagua. From Spanish, the name translates as “the source of a salty river,” that is, the Rio Salado River, which begins on a mountain. The height of the volcano is 6893 meters. Located on the border between Argentina and Chile, is the highest point of Chile.

The road to the volcano from Chile, from the town of Copiapo on the Pacific coast, runs through the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth. On the eastern slope of the volcano in a crater at an altitude of 6390 meters is the highest lake in the world.

It has become very popular to combine climbing two highest peaks of America in one program. At the same time, high-altitude acclimatization obtained on one mountain allows you to climb the second mountain not in 15-17 days, but in 9-10. 

The cost of a standard 16-day tour to Ojos del Salado is $ 2975.0 ($ 3500.0)*, a shortened 11-day tour is $ 2465.0 ($ 2900.0)*

* - Early Bird discounts! When booking tours for the 2024/2025 season, we provide a discount of 15% for one participant and 20% for two or more participants!
