Ojos del Salado is the highest volcano in the world, standing at 6,893 meters. It is located in the heart of the Chilean Andes, in a remote area within the spectacular Atacama Desert.
It offers a unique journey away from mass tourism. It can be considered the perfect trip for those who wish to challenge themselves at high altitudes, experience an expedition in a challenging environment, and to prepare for more difficult challenges.
