Andes

when you are at 3,000 meters above sea level, you start feeling the altitude. oxygen is much lower than in the valley. This amazing landscape is peaceful, but also very dangerous. Frost bite, hypothermia, altitude sickness, etc... all part of the risk of visiting this incredible place. We camped here over night, in late spring, and we did not expect the temps to drop -15 degrees C. But, we survived :D!
