What you'll do

This is an adventure of a lifetime! The Aconcagua Normal Route Expedition is an 18-day journey to the highest peak in the Americas. This carefully crafted trek begins in Mendoza, Argentina, before heading to Plaza de Mulas, the base camp at 4,350 m. You’ll traverse stunning Andean landscapes, ascend the North Ridge, and reach the summit at 6,962 m (22,841 ft) — the highest point in the Western and Southern Hemispheres. The journey is challenging but rewarding, with acclimatization days at base camp and high camps like Nido de Cóndores at 5,560 m, designed to help your body adjust to the altitude. Along the way, you’ll experience the beauty of the Andes, from glacial valleys to rugged cliffs, as well as the camaraderie of a well-supported team. The trek includes comfortable lodging at base camp, fully supported logistics, and expert guides. With spare days built in to adjust for weather, this expedition ensures the success and safety of climbers, making it an unforgettable adventure for mountaineering enthusiasts and those seeking to conquer one of the Seven Summits.
