Aconcagua (6962m)

At 6962m, Cerro Aconcagua is the highest peak on the American continent. Ever since it was conquered, it has been one of the top destinations in the world for expeditions. Although climbing Aconcagua is technically less demanding than many lower-altitude peaks, it is still a challenge to be taken seriously. Fitness, patience and acclimatization are key, and, unless you're fairly experienced at tough high-altitude treks, you shouldn't even consider going up… (20 photos: JM Karsenti)

El Cerro Aconcagua es la montaña más alta en el continente americano. Se encuentra ubicado en la cordillera de Los Andes, en la provincia de Mendoza, Argentina. Además de su imponente paisaje que puede ser contemplado a la distancia por cientos de miles de turistas anualmente, hacer alpinismo en el cerro es una actividad que tradicionalmente ha atraído miles de visitantes...


Il existe des montagnes qui portent le mythe jusque dans leur nom. L'Aconcagua, est l'une d'elles. L'énorme rocher volcanique s'élève au milieu de la Cordillère des Andes sans qu'aucun autre sommet ne lui fasse de l'ombre... Atteindre son sommet reste un challenge et un exploit. Bien que techniquement simple, le vent, l'altitude et le froid doivent être appréhendés avec le plus grand sérieux...
