Guided Aconcagua climb high camp before summit climb with Mountain Madness

Aconcagua Normal Route Expedition

Soar with the condors to the highest peak in South America

Guid­ed high alti­tude climb­ing expe­di­tions to Aconcagua offer a great way to expe­ri­ence the spec­tac­u­lar Andes of Argenti­na and reach a Sev­en Sum­mit. Aconcagua, often referred to as the Stone Sen­tinel,” is the high­est peak in South Amer­i­ca, the high­est peak in the world out­side of Asia, and one of the Sev­en Sum­mits. This expe­di­tion is a great step­ping stone for the world’s high­est peaks, like Mount Ever­est, and a great intro­duc­tion to full blown expe­di­tionary climbing. 

Basic moun­taineer­ing skills are required and some expe­ri­ence at alti­tude will increase your like­li­hood of suc­cess. But, the moun­tain is not to be tak­en light­ly and it offers a chal­lenge to even sea­soned high alti­tude climbers. Join our expe­ri­enced guides and reach the sum­mit of this much sought after peak. Read more about qual­i­fi­ca­tions below and check out the blog, Aconcagua call­ing- are you ready for it?”
