Ojos del Salado (6,898m) is the highest volcano in the world and the second tallest peak in the Andes — just 64 meters shorter than Aconcagua. Located on the Chile–Argentina border, it offers a unique mix of high altitude, stunning Atacama Desert scenery, and relatively easy access by 4WD up to 5,800m. This makes it one of the best non-technical 6,000ers to push your limits at extreme altitude.
