Falso Morocho or Quitapenas (4500m) | Alta Catamarca, Argentina |
|||
|
|
|||
|
This
peak is the best option for the first day we spend at "Las Grutas". It
is a two-hour stroll, which will be very good for us to acclimatise and
begin to adapt to the altitude. Although
the route up is not at all interesting, the view from the top is
spectacular. |

The
ascent is obvious, we cross the road and walk over a plane to the foot
