Trekking
An infamous mountain range, such as the Andes, should be on every mountaineer’s checklist. Some of the southern peaks are truly majestic; the tallest of these is the highest mountain in the western hemisphere, Aconcagua. Large enough to be seen from miles and miles away, it towers 1000 meters over its brothers. For the more adventurous traveller, there are many trekking trips that scale this giant. Along the way ice-flows, frozen waterfalls, glaciers and mountain lakes appear around every corner, not to mention the view that the 22,834 feet of mountain will provide. If this particular peak is too intimidating for you, there are many lower-level treks to be enjoyed. Trips that include more intense mountaineering activities, such as rock and ice climbing, are also easy to find in the Andes.
