    Overview

    The Trekking San Andres Summit is the highest of the mountain range belonging to the town of Ticlio, it is located at 17,060 ft (5200m) altitude; the road is rocky so there is no fixed path leading to the summit; these scattered rocks are due to some mining companies that carried out works of mineral exploitation leaving the access full of broken rocks from the mountainside, all this makes the hike a little difficult, so it is very important to carry trekking poles for support and avoid injuries while walking.
