What is on this page

Below you will find a list of the Andes 6,000 meter peaks by country in alphabetical order with routes added. This is a work in progress.

John Biggar's list of the Andean peaks is supposed to be the most correct and is updated according to the newest measures.
The only problem with it (personal opinion) is the prominence limit, which is set at a high 400m. I have therefore choosen to also link to sub-list with some peaks which almost qualified for the main list.

  • Main list 6000m peaks.
  • Sub list, with peaks over 6000m, but with prominence less than 400m.
