Sairecabur 5992m

A high, easy and quite popular peak on the Chile/Bolivia border. The IGM height is given as 5971m but the actual height is probably closer to 5990m, the height used here is from a handheld GPS reading taken in 2009. A road leads to 5400m on the north side of the peak, making this one of the easiest (nearly) 6000m peaks in the Andes.
