Climb Aconcagua, the highest peak in the South American Andes, and the highest peak outside of Asia at 6962m. Tick off one of the seven summits in the stunning Mendoza range of Argentina. Go get that summit!
Aconcagua is the second highest of the seven summits and at 6962m tall you're going to see it all on this one. Our 21 day expedition provides you with everything the high mountains has to offer. Stunning views, challenging terrain, dizzying heights and a heavy dusting of challenge. You'll need a steely determination and a love for mountain adventures to help get you to the top but when you do, that struggle will so be worth it.
We've built this trip to make sure we provide enough rest days between some of the big pushes to each camp. While not a technical climb the altitude alone is enough to harden your mountain spirits and adventure bones. Don't worry though, our local guides are handpicked for their knowledge and their personalities. The trip will also contain a highly experienced and qualified mountain leader from the UK who will be leading the trip. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face even in the most remote locations
