Reclus 6335m
A very high and remote peak in the south Argentine Puna de Atacama. It is normally climbed form either Catamarca or La Union. There are extensive 'Inca' ruins on the summit, including walls, altars, house foundations and much firewood and straw. We made the second ascent (and first ever British ascent) of this peak in November 2000.

We can organise guided ascents of this peak. For details of how to climb Reclus and the neighbouring peaks of the Puna, please see our guidebooks, which are available in English, Spanish and French editions, direct from us or from all good bookshops and mountaineering shops.
