Itinerary description

Pissis is the third highest mountain in the Andes. It is located in the province of Catamarca and despite its beauty and importance it is still a mountain that is not very visited, although nowadays there are some services that facilitate the access and the climbing.
This tracklog includes all the way from the international road to Mar del Plata, which is the base camp of this mountain.
The track also has all the way to the summit, which is the same as the one done on the descent.
Since it is one of the highest mountains in the Andes, it requires a good acclimatisation.
