Nevado Juncal, Mountain summit in Los Andes Department, Chile.

Nevado Juncal reaches an elevation of 5,953 meters above sea level, standing at the border between Chile and Argentina in the Central Andes mountain range.

The first successful climb to the summit occurred on January 17, 1911, when Federico Reichert, Robert Helbling, and Damasio Beíza completed their expedition to the top.

The mountain serves as a natural boundary between Chile and Argentina, marking an important geographical reference point for both nations in the Andes range.

Different elevation measurements exist for the peak, ranging from 5,905 meters according to TanDEM-X data to 5,965 meters in official records.

The mountain contains two major glaciers, Juncal Norte and Juncal Sur, which contribute to the water resources of the Aconcagua Valley region.
