The majestic Andes Mountains offer a wealth of options for adventure activities for the daring visitor. From snow-capped volcanos just waiting to be scaled with ice-picks and crampons, to sheer cliff faces for climbing, mountain trails to hike or ride on horseback with dramatic views, to rushing crater lakes and rushing rivers ripe for white-water rafting and kayaking, there is no shortage of action. And you can rest up at the end of the day in friendly local hostels or luxury haciendas, according to your budget and tastes.
