The highest volcano in the world.

Nevado Ojos del Salado is a stratovolcano located on the border between Chile and Argentina. At 6,893 meters it is the highest volcano in the world and the second peak in the southern and western hemispheres, only surpassed by Aconcagua.


This gigantic volcanic complex is located east of Copiapó (Atacama) and west of Fiambalá (Catamarca). Its main block culminates in 3 peaks.
