Sierra Nevada de Lagunas Bravas

Sierra Nevada de Lagunas Bravas rises to 6,137 meters with twelve distinct vents and multiple craters spread across 225 square kilometers of mountainous terrain.

The first documented ascent of the central summit occurred in 2014, while the western peak was initially climbed in December 2000 by American mountaineer Robert Ayers.

Mountaineers from multiple nations conduct expeditions to this remote Andean peak, contributing to international alpine climbing documentation and research.

Reaching the summit requires extensive high-altitude climbing experience, specialized equipment, and careful logistical planning due to the extreme elevation and remote location.

The mountain complex features andesitic lava flows extending up to 7 kilometers, with marginal levées reaching 600 meters in width.
