Lucas Bustos was injured while camping in the Nevado de Cachi, an area of ice more than 5,700 meters high. Authorities faced a complicated operation to rescue Bustos' body.
The place where they reported that his remains are located rises about 5,000 meters above sea level and is difficult to access. At the level of fauna it houses threatened species such as the pajonal cat, the mountain monterita or the red fox, as well as the Andean condor and the guaipo.
