Climbing Licancabur, 5960m high "Mountain of the People", holy to the Incas. Ruins at the foot and top of the mountain prove the Incas to be the first who climbed it several hundred years ago.
The crater lake on top of Licancabur is considered to be the highest lake of the world. Despite beeing frozen most of the time, there is life inside that was investigated by a NASA/UCLA expedition research in 2002 and 2003. (there has been a diving expedition in 1984 already). The lower waterlevels stay above 0 degrees Celcius despite peak temperatures of up to -40 degrees Celcius.
