The goal of our expedition was to climb these two challenging 6000 meter peaks, but due to the snow conditions we only climbed Vn. San Francisco (6016m). I was a charming trip: we started acclimatizing in la Parva area, then spent some days in the beautiful surroundings of Cerro Las Tortolas (6160m). Then we moved to Ojos del Salado area and were astonished by the amount of snow on the slopes of the mountains, which is unusual for the season. After climbing Vn San Francisco we drove to Rancagua and spent a couple of days at Puma Lodge. It was a pleasant end for our January adventure… Check out the pictures!
