Nevado de Cachi

Nevado de Cachi is the name given to a large complex of mountains that lies in Salta Province, Argentina.

The mountains overlook Cachi, a traditional village of Northern Argentina.

The mountain can be climbed, in favourable weather conditions, in five days by a party fully acclimatised to an altitude of 4,000m.

In summer the snow-line is about at 5,800m; in winter it is significantly lower (as low as 3,500m) making possible some technical climbs (ice and snow route at about 55 degrees).

The region experiences the same seasons of Bolivia, summers are dry but winter can be very rainy with heavy snowfalls.
