Andes Mountains

The Aconcagua is at 6,920 meters the highest mountain in this mighty mountain range. But there are many six-thousanders, as mountains above 6000 meters are called. As well as five-thousanders, etc.

You can visit the Andes in seven countries: Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela. In all these countries you have plenty of opportunities to go into the mountains and discover the countless highlights. The choice is yours. 

You can travel through it relatively easily, for example from country to country. Travelling from Chile to Argentina is very popular, as are Bolivia and Peru. It's up to you how you want to experience the mountains. A trip to the Andes can be done in groups, but can also easily be done on your own with a guide. Or with your own 4x4 rental car, although you do have to prepare your trip well.

The mountains are home to some special animals. Including the cougar, the Andean condor and the funny guanaco and vicuna. But there are still many animals such as chinchillas, several species of deer and countless birds.
