Climb Monte Pissis (6,790m), 14-day Expedition with acclimatization in Catamarca, Argentina

Located in the desert of Argentina, the Monte Pissis (6,790m) is a fantastic peak that is well worth climbing. And, for 14 exciting days, I would like to guide you not only to the summit of this great mountain, but to several other wonderful places.

The approach to the Monte Pissis is extraordinary. For over 90 kilometers, you will get to trek through and admire mountain terrain, as well as desert terrain. You will also get to cross streams and rivers, while also passing by several sensational, emerald colored lakes. Finally, throughout the approach, don’t be surprised if you spot groups of vicunas and guanacos.

Due to the height of the Monte Pissis, it is important that you are properly acclimatized before climbing to the summit. As a result, you will be scaling not one, but two wonderful peaks prior to the ascent of Monte Pissis. Those peaks are the Mulas Muertas Mountain (5,250) and the San Francisco Volcano (6,036m). Each climb will take between 5 and 8 hours.

Additional highlights of this trip include the Laguna Santa Rosa, the Laguna Verde, and the Argentinan town of Fiambala.

When it comes to the ascent of the Monte Pissis, several days will be dedicated to you reaching the summit, with stops at various camps. As a result, you will get even more time to properly acclimatize, while also enjoying more spectacular views.

Participants on this trip must be in good physical condition.

A climb for those with an adventurous spirit, I have no doubt you’ll have an unforgettable experience reaching the summit of the Monte Pissis. To join me on this 14-day adventure, please send a request.
