Expedition Ojos del Salado
This 5-day expedition is designed for experienced mountaineers with prior acclimatization, having already climbed peaks above 6,500 meters like Aconcagua, Llullaillaco, or Tupungato within the past week.

Risks include severe altitude sickness, adverse weather, and technical terrain, making it essential for participants to be fully prepared.
