Sighted from the furthest horizons, the Nevado de Chañi constitutes a massif of considerable altitude that geologically has little to do with the Andes Mountains itself. It is made up of several peaks, all of them higher than 5000 masl, which arise from prominent ridges that emerge to the west and south. The stubborn and majestic geography wanted one day this beautiful chain of mountains to participate in the limits between the two northernmost provinces of the country, Salta and Jujuy. The 5896 meters above sea level of its summit represent a great challenge for the mountaineer, not only because of the height itself, but also because of the path that must be traveled to get there.
