Aconcagua Ascent    Aconcagua Ascent

Embark upon an ascent of the toughest trekking peak in South America. The Aconcagua is not a techincally difficult climb but does require a high level of fitness and determination to stand on the top of the Americas.

21 days, from £3523 (Group tour). Exodus »  
 

Located close to the border with Chile, Aconcagua (6962m/22,841ft) is the highest mountain of South America, even the highest peak outside of Asia! Still the two normal routes are not steep and the summit can be reached by fit and determined hikers. Your luggage will be carried by mules to BaseCamp, after then you are on your own! The season is from December to February, but even then there can be bad weather, so take extra days into account. A typical climb will take about 3 weeks and guided services are available. For the extreme climbers: the huge near-vertical South face can be climbed, one of the largest in the world.
