Supposedly the first victim of mountaineers, who tried to climb on the almost 7000 m high mountain. - scanned slide, Minolta X700

A cemetery mainly for Aconcagua mountaineers, many of them with german names. The PiP shows the grave of the supposedly first "victim of the Aconcagua". First of all: There are no "victims of mountains", only victims of uncalculable risk etc., and I doubt that 1926 there was the first dead climber, there must have been native people before most probably. - scanned slide, Minolta X700

The two "peaks" are Cerro Acongagua Sur (6930m) to the left and Cerro Acongagua (6961m) to the right. The view here is from the "Laguna Horcones" (2979 m), so it's still roughly 4000 m up to the summit ;-) - scanned slide, Minolta X700

The whole region's most famous park is Parque Provincial Aconcagua, home of 6962 m tall Cerro Aconcagua, the highest peak outside the Himalayas and a favorite climbing destination. Reaching the summit requires a commitment of at least 13 to 15 days, including acclimatization time. A part of Aconcagua is seen in the far background. The peak to the left is Agua Salada Norte (4375 m), the mountains to the right are above 5000 m. - scanned slide, Minolta X700

Seen from the way to the base camp "Plaza de Mulas". Its the highest peak in America and the highest peak outside Asia. We were not up there ;-)
