Americas
The largest mountain ranges are the Andes and Rocky Mountains. The Sierra Nevada and the Cascade Range reach similar altitudes as the Rocky Mountains, but are significantly smaller. In North America, the greatest number of fourteeners are in the United States, and more specifically in the U.S. state of Colorado. The highest peaks of the Americas are located in the Andes, with Aconcagua of Argentina being the highest; in North America Denali (Mount McKinley) in the U.S. state of Alaska is the tallest.

Later in 2006 with the trust and support of his sponsors, he undertakes another challenge alongside Federico Jovine, Ruben Torres and Karim Mella. This is called the " Crowning America" project. Dominicans crown the summit of the highest mountain in the Americas, Aconcagua 6,962 m. There they had to deal with inclement weather in this treacherous mountain and assist a young Spanish mountaineer that the decline began to suffer the effects of altitude sickness. In this expedition they were accompanied by one of his mentors Father Chuco CEL and spiritual guide, who also attempted to climb the mountain but was unsuccessful.
