At an elevation of 22,838 feet, the mountain of Aconcagua is the highest outside of Asia. It’s so high that the mountain dominates the skyline and is visible 100 miles off the coast in the Pacific Ocean. Aconcagua can be found in the Andes mountain range and lies entirely within Argentina, though Chile borders it. Over 3,500 people attempt to scale the mountain each year; there are multiple companies that will assist visitors in preparing and training for the climb. Though the actual walk is uncomplicated, many mountaineers underestimate the altitude. Visitors who are going for the view can take some amazing photographs from the nearby villages.
