Full description

Mount Aconcagua, the tallest mountain on the American continent, attracts thousands of people each year who try to conquer its summit. The Cordillera de los Andes is the longest mountain range in the world with a length of 7. 240 km and the highest peak of 6, 962 meters. This is a one-day activity and almost a 20km round trip hike. You will trek until Confluencia, the first Aconcagua base camp, where you will be able to enjoy an Argentinean 'picada' consisting of salami, cheese, and homemade bread. If the weather is nice, you will be able to see the Aconcagua and its majestic southern wall. The pickup time will be 8:00 am, and then you will travel 190 kilometers in approximately 3 hours - depending on the traffic - until the beginning of the trek in Horcones.

This is an excellent trip up to Confluencia with a fantastic guide!

This trip was outstanding. My guide Joaquin is very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna and a great driver. There is a beautiful lagoon on the way up to Confluencia. Joaquin took pictures of me during the trek and kindly sent them to me afterwards. He also offered to help me organize the remainder of my trip in Bariloche by providing contact information for local tourist companies in Bariloche. We stopped at the Thermal hotel ruins at Puento del Inca (Inca Bridge) on the way back. You may also have the chance to enjoy the traditional Argentinan drink Mate during the car ride ;-)

What an amazing trip with the best guide ever Joaquin. He was very informative, and friendly. The amount of time we spent together we already all felt like family. We were a small group of 4 people total including him, which was perfect. I highly recommend this activity.
