Sighted from distant horizons, the Nevado de Chañi is a volcano of significant altitude that has nothing to do with the Andes. It consists of several peaks, all above 5000 meters above sea level, arising from prominent edges that flow westward and southward. The 5896 meters of the summit represents a major challenge to any mountaineer.
