Paso de Uspallata (3832 m) - Chilean side

Paso de Uspallata (3832 m) - Chilean side
This is the Chilean side of the pass. We intended to drive down here and back to Argentina via tunnel, but it was closed because of snowdrifts. The high peak in the left background is Nevado Juncal (5965 m), other summits are marked in the image. What you see here as line in the snowy slope is only a footpath, not the road, which is below leading down right.

My memory is not as good as it seems ;-)) It's a lot of investigation to find the viewpoint and the name of the peaks. If we take this image as example I looked around in Google Earth in 3D from the pass to find the right direction and the mountains and then identified the summits on the most accurate map opentopomap.org. It's a lot of work, but also a lot of fun, almost a kind of detective work ;-) I also use Google street view, when available.
