MONOMAD - The highest mountain on the American continent (4 photos)

My lastest trip before the pandemic was seven weeks in South-America. One of the places where we spent time was Mendoza in Argentina. Mendoza is not only known for some of Argentina's most famous wines, but also for the highest mountain on the American continent - Aconcagua (6.962 m.) This mountain is one of the Seven Summits ( one on each continent) and the highest mountain outside Asia. From Mendoza we drove up to the parking area at the national park and walked to the bridge that markes the point where only trekkers who have a climbing permit are allowed. But we enjoyed our walk with a view to this magnificent mountain.
