About the tour<\/h2>\n

The Aconcagua expedition begins in the resort city of Mendoza, also known as the grape capital of Argentina. This city is located at an altitude of 800 metres above sea level. On arrival in Mendoza, the expedition will have a night’s rest. The next day we’ll walk up to the nearest hotel to the National Park, Puente del Inca (2700 metres above sea level). The next morning, we’ll be taken to the entrance of the Aconcagua National Park, from where we’ll start the first part of our expedition on foot.<\/p>\n

Park, from where we’ll start the first part of our expedition on foot.The first crossing to Camp Confluence (3300m) is quite easy and takes only three to four hours (some participants even take 1.5 hours!). At Confluence, the group will stay for two nights to acclimatise. On the rest day, we’ll climb to Plaza France (4100 metres). Then the group will go to the base camp Plaza de Mulas (4450m), which is the start of the classic route to climb Aconcagua on the Northwest Ridge. The transition will take between 7 and 8 hours.<\/p>\n

After the transition we\u2019ll have a rest day in the base camp, gaining strength for the first acclimatization. We will establish several camps \u2013 Plaza Canada (5000m altitude), Nido de Kodores ( \u201cNest of condors\u201d, 5600m) and already in the second way \u2013 assault camp in the village of \u201cBerlin\u201d (6000 m). Climbing to the summit of Aconcagua is planned for the 12-14th day depending on the weather and participants well-being.
\nAfter the ascent we descend to the base camp and celebrate the success of the expedition. During one quite a long day we will walk the entire track and already in the evening will be in Mendoza with a hot shower and delicious steaks. There are more than a thousand wineries in the city. Alpinists can participate in fine wines tasting and buy the drinks they liked.<\/p>\n
