Aconcagua
Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Americas and in the southern hemisphere. Its 6,962 meters also make it the highest peak outside of the Himalayas.
It rose up from the ocean floor about 65 million years ago along with the entire Andean Cordillera. Located near the High Mountain Road that crosses into Chile, Aconcagua’s south face can be seen from this road.
Mountain climbers from all over the world aim for its summit every summer. For those less pretentious, hiking tours and trekking expeditions of varying length and difficulty go to panoramic points and base camps.
