Come with me to the stunning vulcanoes of the Andes
The Andes are the longest mountain range on the planet. It is a 7000 km long stretch of mountains and vulcanoes which extends from north to south over the entirely south american continent.
The Andes have several high plateaus. In the image below you see the Altiplano plateau with an average height of 3700m and several active vulcanoes.
You need an 4x4 jeep to get there. It is a great experience to drive for hours in this vast landscape without seeing another car. But you should always have some spare tires and the right equipment with you in case of an emergency.
When the sun goes down the temperature gets to -25 C in a few minutes. I spent one night in my tent at the Altiplano at an altitude of nearly 4000m and everything froze: the screen of my phone, my Ipad. Even my digital thermometer stopped working. The last number it showed was -25.

Very nice!!! Did you enhance the yellow a little bit?
Thanks. What do you mean? The yellow grass at the sides of the road? If you mean the grass, it has really that golden color like in the photo...
👍 Amazing image; makes me wanna go there! However: -25 C is not my favorite temperature 😊.
Thank You. I was there in winter. In summer it may be a little warmer ;)
What an amazing view! I need to get there ))
Yes, it is really cool there. I want to return, too. But it is a very long trip by plane to get there and the rental 4x4 are extreme expensive.

I’ve only been tothe Argentinan side of the Andes, hope to visit it from Chile too sometime! Gorgeous picture with the road as a leading line.
Thank You. Haha, it is the opposite with me ;) I have seen it mostly from the chilean side and hope to see the argentinan side someday also...
