Aconcagua is the highest mountain in the Americas at 6,962 meters. It is located in the Central Andes in Mendoza. It is known as the "Roof of the Americas." This mountain is the highest after the Himalayas, a great adventure for all mountaineering enthusiasts and those who enjoy a challenge. This time, we will take seven days to trek the normal route, passing through its first base camp: Confluencia, visiting Plaza Francia (south face), and ending at Plaza de Mulas. We also offer, as an introduction to mountaineering, an ascent to a 5,000-meter summit without technical difficulty, Cerro Bonete, which offers an incomparable view of the west face of Mount Aconcagua.
You can opt for an 18-day version to climb to its summit:
