Nevados de Poquis, Mountain summit in Antofagasta Region, Chile.

Nevados de Poquis rises to 5,756 meters above sea level in the Andes mountain range, featuring glaciated slopes and rocky terrain near the Chilean-Argentine border.

The mountain has remained largely unexplored throughout history due to its remote location and extreme altitude, with limited documented ascents by mountaineers.

Indigenous Atacameño communities have historically revered the high peaks of this region, incorporating these mountains into their oral traditions and spiritual practices.

Climbers attempting to reach the summit must prepare for high-altitude sickness, unpredictable weather conditions, and carry specialized mountaineering equipment for the challenging ascent.

The mountain sits in close proximity to the Salar de Tara salt flats, creating a rare geological contrast between snow-capped peaks and mineral-rich desert landscapes.
