About the tour<\/h2>\n

The 12-day Aconcagua Climbing Program is a shortened version of the classic Aconcagua Climbing Program. The acclimatisation in this program has a much tighter schedule, so the mountain is much less forgiving of mistakes in tactics and physical preparation. Don’t forget the medical supervision at the base camp, where the doctor must check the acclimatisation of the members and allow or not allow them to go to the mountain. Of course, it is possible to renounce the responsibility of the National Park, but in this case you lose the free help of the rangers in case of emergency. It should be added that, for obvious reasons, this program remains the most popular of all the companies that carry out Aconcagua climbs. The percentage of climbs is lower than in the three-week program.<\/p>\n
