Aconcagua Summit
21 days - Guided groups, fixed Departures (some backpacking)
- Summit the highest peak outside of the Himalaya
- True mountaineering expedition
- Spare summit attempt days
Aconcagua, at 6962 metres, is the highest mountain in the Americas and the second highest of the seven continental summits. It is an incredible challenge for anyone who wishes to experience a high altitude mountaineering expedition. This exciting trek requires some experience of snow and ice conditions and the use of crampons and ice axe.
With plenty of days to acclimatize and training hikes from Base Camp before the final summit bid, and an ascent of smaller Cerro Bonete (5004 metres), you will be ready to take on the biggest challenge as you climb from camp to camp. Along the way you will enjoy a rest day or two and have time to savor the mountain scenery and the eerily shaped snow formations. When you stand atop Aconcagua, your rewards will be endless and timeless.
