Everest, Annapurna, Langtang

Evidence-based research on Nepal trekking. 10 articles covering the helicopter fraud scandal, permits, costs, altitude, and every major trek. Every claim sourced.

K2 Base Camp, Concordia, Fairy Meadows

Pakistan trekking in the Karakoram — K2 Base Camp via the Baltoro Glacier, Fairy Meadows under Nanga Parbat, and the Gondogoro La crossing. Five 8,000m peaks, porter wages under $15/day, and a security reputation that's a decade out of date. Every claim sourced.

Volcán Lanín, Lago Huechulafquen, Paso Tromen

Volcán Lanín (3,776m) — the perfect cone on the Argentine-Chilean border. The Tromen normal route, CAJA/RIM/BIM shelter system, Espina de Pescado, and the Ascenso climbing game built on real SRTM terrain from this volcano. Neuquén province, Lanín National Park.

6,961m, Cordon del Plata, Mendoza wine country

Aconcagua climbing and trekking — the highest peak outside Asia at 6,961m. Normal route stage-by-stage, 2026 permit costs and insurance, acclimatization strategy via Cordon del Plata, month-by-month weather data, and the Mendoza wine country that makes this expedition unlike any other. 7 articles, every claim sourced.

Ojos del Salado, Monte Pissis, Volcán San Francisco

Ojos del Salado (6,893m) — the highest volcano on Earth, plus Monte Pissis (6,795m) and Volcán San Francisco (6,018m). Three 6,000m+ peaks from Catamarca and the Puna de Atacama, at a fraction of the Aconcagua price. Every claim sourced.

Nahuel Huapi, Refugio Frey, Jakob, Laguna Negra

Not Patagonia lite — it's the Dolomites at 41°S. The full Northern Lakes District: Nahuel Huapi refugios (Frey-Jakob traverse), Pampa Linda glaciers (Tronador, Otto Meiling), and post-fire El Bolsón (Cajón del Azul, Piltriquitrón). 9 articles covering the reframe, the bureaucracy, and the real difficulty.

Fitz Roy, Cerro Torre, Huemul Circuit

The climbing-town basecamp for Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. Founded in 1985 as a border-dispute settlement, free-entry into Argentina's Los Glaciares north sector, walk-from-your-door trailheads. The reframe, the permits, the weather windows, and the one circuit that actually earns the word 'serious'.

The W, the O, Paine Grande, Grey Glacier

The Torres del Paine W trek and O circuit — Chile's paid-circuit Patagonia, CONAF-administered, with Vertice and Las Torres Patagonia as the two private refugio operators. The booking system is the crux, not the walking: three separate portals, and the May 1 2026 CONAF fee overhaul that most guides haven't caught. Every claim sourced.
