A brief summary to Homenaje Vial, Record Mundial de Altura
- Rosario de Lerma, Salta Province, AR
Local tips
- Acclimatize to the altitude before your visit. Spend a few days in Salta or another lower-altitude city to avoid altitude sickness.
- Bring warm clothing, even in summer. The high altitude means temperatures can drop dramatically, and the wind can be fierce.
- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. The dry air at high altitude can dehydrate you quickly.
