Aconcagua is located in the heart of the Argentine-Chilean Central Andes, at 22,835 feet, is the highest mountain in the world outside Himalayas. The name Aconcagua comes from the Quechua word and it means "Stone Sentry". This mountain was first explored by the Incas, where they used to celebrate their rites in the Andean summits. Here we will find the challenge of dealing with high altitudes and low temperatures.

Departures: We organize trips based on fixed departures or custom trips groups.

We will have a formidable view of the Central Andes. We will climb in traditional expedition style using multiple camps enroute, allowing adequate time to acclimatize to the low oxygen and assuring enough time to wait out stormy weather, to get everybody on summit.

Participants must be in excellent physical condition, able to carry a heavy pack, and adequate mountaineering equipment.

Routes (see map): We approach by three different routes Plaza de Mulas Base Camp (Normal Route) and Plaza Argentina Base Camp (Polish Glacier-traverse), with colorful spectacular high desert scenery, where the muleteers, or arrieros, will transport our gear to our Base Camp.

You might also be interested in our expedition called "two summits" El Plomo and Aconcagua. For Those climbers that travel not only to climb a single mountain and need more days for get a better acclimatization. This mountain trip starts with an acclimatization stage in El Plomo (17,815ft. - 5.430m.), a great mountain located in the Andes next to Santiago, Chile, and ends up with a expedition through normal route on Aconcagua.

On all the routes, porters are available, you just have to ask for them!!
