I saw many Volcanos in the Andes and climbed to the summit of Volcan Villarica in Chile. The guide tied a rope around our waist and held on so we could lean over the crater and see the magma.

Chimoborazo in Ecuador is interesting. At 6,200 m it is not the highest peak above sea level, but due to the bulge in the middle of the earth, the peak is actually the furthest point from the center of the earth, and closest to the Sun.
