Aconcagua (6962m / 22,840ft) is the highest peak in the Andes (in fact the highest in the Americas or anywhere in the world outside the Himalayas) and is found in central Argentina near Mendoza. A mecca for mountaineering as a result, the area contains spectacular mountain scenery, not only around Aconcagua itself but throughout the whole central Andean Cordillera. Notable regions include the Calingasta Valley in neighbouring San Juan province and the great rock canyon of Talampaya National Park in La Rioja province.
High quality photographic prints of Argentina with a wide choice of framing options, canvas wrap prints and greeting cards are available. Please visit the Framed Prints page for more details. If you would like a print of any photograph that is not in the gallery please contact James Brunker at magicalandesphotos@yahoo.com A high resolution version of the desired image can easily be uploaded for you.

Cerro Cuerno and Upper Horcones Glacier
Part of the ridge at the head of the Upper Horcones Valley - just out of image to right is Plaza de Mulas base camp. The triangular mountain is Cerro Cuerno (5642m / 18,510ft). Note the icy spikes on the surface of the glacier; known as penitientes they are common here and caused by a combination of sunshine, cold dry climate and high winds.
