Principal Cordillera

32°S 70°W / 32°S 70°W / -32; -70

Nevado del Plomo (left) and Nevado Juncal (behind) are two mountains of the Principal Cordillera along the Argentina-Chile border and the Atlantic-Pacific watershed.

Principal Cordillera (Spanish: Cordillera Principal) is the Andean mountain range that makes up the boundary between Central Chile and neighbouring areas of Argentina. It is also a continental divide between the Atlantic and the Pacific watersheds.[1] It extends in a north–south direction in the Argentine provinces of La Rioja, San Juan and Mendoza and the Chilean regions of Valparaíso, Santiago, O'Higgins and Maule. To the east of the Principal Cordillera lies the Frontal Cordillera which is fully in Argentina.[1] Aconcagua, the tallest mountain outside Asia, lies in the Principal Cordillera.[1]
