About
Nevado del Plomo, also spelled as Nevado El Plomo, is a mountain on the border between Argentina and Chile. Juncal Sur Glacier, which feeds the Olivares River, descends the west side of the mountain. Nevado del Plomo is part of the Central Andes and has an elevation of 6,070 metres (19,915 ft) metres. The Argentine portion is within the protection area of Tupungato Volcano Provincial Park. It is on the border of two provinces: the Argentinean province of Mendoza and the Chilean province of Cordillera, and its slopes are within the administrative boundaries of two cities, the Argentinean city of Luján de Cuyo, and the Chilean commune of San José de Maipo.
