Nevados de Poquis

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.

Nevados de Poquis lies in the Andes near the Argentine border, north of Paso de Jama and southeast of Zapaleri. The Swedish Wikipedia article records it as a mountain range in the Antofagasta Region, about 1,200 km north of Santiago. The surrounding area is nearly uninhabited, with fewer than two inhabitants per square kilometre and little or no vegetation.

The name Poquis comes from the Kunza language of the Atacameño people, who live around the Salar de Atacama and the oasis of Toconao. The mountain lies in the Antofagasta Region, where Atacameño communities maintain rituals linked to high peaks and water sources. Its slopes are barren, with less than two inhabitants per square kilometre in the surrounding area.

Nevados de Poquis lies in the Antofagasta Region, about 1,200 km north of Santiago de Chile, north of the Paso de Jama and southeast of Zapaleri. The surrounding terrain is barren, with little or no vegetation, and the area is nearly uninhabited, with fewer than two inhabitants per square kilometre. Approach and acclimatisation must therefore be planned without relying on nearby settlements or services.

Nevados de Poquis stands north of Paso de Jama, the Andean border crossing between Chile and Argentina, and southeast of Zapaleri, the triple border point of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia. The surrounding Antofagasta Region terrain is nearly uninhabited, with fewer than two inhabitants per square kilometre and little or no vegetation.
