Chile: Llullaillaco Volcano and Ojos del Salado

The destination of the expedition are the two technically easy parade mountains Ojos del Salado, 6893 m, and Llullaillaco, 6723 m, which rise into the blue sky of the Andes on the border between the Argentine Puna (Quechua for “high land”) and the Chilean Atacama desert. While the “Ojos” after the Aconcagua is the second highest peak in South America, thus a second seven summit and at the same time the highest volcano on earth, the Llullaillaco as the second highest volcano is culturally extremely important. Already 500 years ago the summit area of ​​the Llullaillaco served the Incas as a place of ceremonies and sacrifices. In 1958 the well-known Austrian mountaineer Matthias Rebitsch discovered ruins in the summit area and undertook the first excavations. Then, in March 1999, American archaeologists uncovered three child mummies and numerous grave goods, which can be seen today in the museum in Salta. Introductory tours to three five-thousanders enable very good altitude adjustment, the glacier-free normal routes on all mountains do not pose any particular technical difficulties. Another advantage: Since both six-thousanders are climbed via the (little frequented) Argentine east side, the sun warms up pleasantly early on Morning. An expedition trip for mountaineers who want to reach great heights on technically easy, glacier-free climbs. The beautiful, largely unknown high mountain landscape in north-west Argentina will fascinate you. Another advantage: Since both six-thousanders are climbed via the (little frequented) Argentine east side, the sun already warms you up pleasantly early in the morning. An expedition trip for mountaineers who want to reach great heights on technically easy, glacier-free climbs. The beautiful, largely unknown high mountain landscape in north-west Argentina will fascinate you. Another advantage: Since both six-thousanders are climbed via the (little frequented) Argentine east side, the sun already warms you up pleasantly early in the morning. An expedition trip for mountaineers who want to reach great heights on technically easy, glacier-free climbs. The beautiful, largely unknown high mountain landscape in north-west Argentina will fascinate you.

Early in the morning the sun on the east side of the mountain warms you up. Climbing tracks give way to boulders and snowfields. Gradually you gain altitude. The Llullaillaco Volcano is a mountain of archaeological importance. Three Inca mummies were found in the summit area, which were probably sacrificed in a ceremony after a march of more than 3000 kilometers from the center of the Inca Empire in Peru/Cusco. The Llullaillaco has a lot of history. Remains of the installations in the summit area, rock walls, wooden remains of the protective roof and the place of sacrifice can still be seen. Descent, usually quite easy “downhill” over loose scree, to the high camp, in good conditions even further to the base camp.

About the meteorological conditions of the climate, we try to organize the trips of each tour in the best season to have the best views and enjoy the selected trip but sometimes even is good season we can have bad weather, in this case on hiking or treks trips The complications are minimal, but when this happens during high-altitude climbing expeditions, the complications can become very difficult, that is why the bosses or leaders of the local guides must always make the most correct decision for the safety of our passengers, so we always recommend listening to the best advice from the local guide assigned for each tour. If you have any other questions please contact us. For calls or inquiries to this number: +51 943 081 066

We as a local company and connoisseurs of tours have departures on different dates. The best thing to do is to join a travel group to take care of your budget, and of course you can join our groups, but on trips like mountaineering we recommend going in small groups. To join a group, ask us for the dates and we will send you the necessary information to be able to join any of our trips.

Why go in a private trip: For trips whether trekking or high mountains, going privately is the most recommended option, but the costs are more expensive. So, if one joins a group, the prices will be more reasonable. In the mountains, the only disadvantage is if you are in a wall with another partner and if one of the participants gets tired or gets sick. In this case, you have to abort or cancel the summit and return together. For more information, contact us. We can schedule a call via WhatsApp to clarify all your questions.

In a mountain, for example, if 3 people go and one of the participants falls ill on the route, for security reasons they have to cancel or abort the summit or return all together. The same in a technical mountain if the climbing partner gets sick they all have to return, for these reasons sometimes it is better to go private only because for a single person the costs are more expensive for the same reason that the trip would already be private .
