Mount Aconcagua, 6,960 m (22,834 ft) high.
The Andes are tall, rocky mountains that line the West coast of South America. The mountains have high, pointy peaks and are covered in snow.
The Andes mountain range runs down the western edge of South America, from Venezuela and Colombia, through Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, and then serves as a general border between Chile (the Pacific coast) and Argentina, which extends eastward to the Atlantic Ocean.
[1] Chimborazo is one of the mountain peaks in the Andes. Its name comes from the Quechua Chimburasu, because it's always snow-capped. At 20,702 feet/6,310 meters, it's the highest mountain in Ecuador. [2] But it's not the highest mountain in South America. That title goes to Aconcagua, at 22,834 feet/6,960 meters, in Argentina.
It starts as a trickle high in the snow-capped Andes mountains and flows over 4000 miles across
A lot of snow falls in the Andes mountains in South America.
I believe that the reason they are covered with snow is because of how high the elevation they have.

The Andes are tall, rocky mountains that line the West coast of South America. The mountains have high, pointy peaks and are covered in snow.
The amount of snow in the Andes Mountains varies depending on the location and altitude. On average, the Andes can receive between 2 to 6 meters (6.5 to 20 feet) of snow per year in some higher elevation areas. However, this can vary significantly depending on the specific region and year.

You can live your whole life, in theroy, in a snow covered area.
The Andes Mountains are over 10,000 ft in elevation. The snow occurs only in higher elevations.The place your talking about is Volcan Cayambe, since is a short distance above the snow line, it is the only place that has snow year round on the ground
The snow-capped mountains in South America are mainly found in the Andes mountain range, which runs along the western side of the continent. Some of the highest peaks with permanent snow cover include Aconcagua in Argentina, Huascarán in Peru, and Chimborazo in Ecuador.
The term that describes the lowest elevation in a particular area that remains covered in snow all year is called the "snow line." This line varies with latitude and climate, being higher in warmer regions and lower in colder areas. The snow line is an important indicator of local climate conditions and glacial activity.
the highest elevation of any permanent portion of a rock face or mountain (not including the snow that covers it)
Only high in the mountains and on glaciers does it remain snow covered.
