Expeditions in Argentina
Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Americas of 6,962 m. It is located in the Andes mountain range, in the province of Mendoza, Argentina, and is 112 kilometers to the west by the north of its capital, the city of Mendoza.
The normal route start with an acclimatization trek from Plaza Francia (base camp from south face), and continue with a progressive approximation to the Plaza de Mulas, - journey of 40 km-. It will take us 3 days to get to base camp.
Then 3 high altitude camps are located in strategically position before getting to the summit. In that way, we guarantee a good acclimatization before starting the ascent to Aconcagua.
Our program suggests having two days for carrying all the equipment’s, acclimate and extra days for any incident. When the last stage begins, we will go higher and higher, towards the higher camp until reaching the summit.
In Aconcagua, sometimes, the presence of white wind makes the ascent difficult, so in this case, is when we use those extra days for incidents, increasing our chance reaching the top.
