AMGI Aconcagua Expeditions
Aconcagua is located in the central Andes of Argentina near the border with Chile. It offers an incredible climbing experience for individuals seeking the challenges of a high altitude climbing expedition in a spectacular setting.
We offer expeditions on four different routes on Aconcagua, including ascents from the Upper Vacas valley on the mountains remote North side. In the past this has proven to be a scenic and seldom traveled route. It is a high quality, non-technical, climb in a pristine environment. We also lead technical climbs on the Polish Glacier. We would be happy to talk with you about the different route options.
Our guides have many years of experience on Aconcagua. Their skill and knowledge insure a safe, successful, and fun trip. We also limit the size of our groups, and maintain a small guest to guide ratio. The itineraries and camps that we use are designed to provide the best experience on this challenging and rewarding trip!
AMGI Aconcagua Advantage
* Experience and Safety Record: We have more than 15 years of experience guiding on Aconcagua with a perfect safety record. Every trip we do utilizes pulse oximeters and satellite phones.
* Group Size: 3 to 1 client/guide ratio. We believe that group size plays an important role in the experience of our guests. By limiting our groups to six guests with two guides we build in the flexibility to accommodate individual goals, expectations, and safety.
* Included: Airport/Hotel Transfers, hotels in Puente del Inca, climbing permit, park fees, mules, all meals from Mendoza to Mendoza, group climbing and camping equipment, and guides.
* Not included: Meals and hotels in Mendoza, airfare to/from Mendoza, bottled water, soda, and alcohol.
* Itineraries: Our itineraries include ample time for weather and rest days. They are designed to provide participants with a positive and successful high altitude experience.
* The Route/Camps- Our favorite route, The Upper Vacas, moves up the North side of the mountain and is independent from other routes on the mountain until high camp at 20,000 ft. where it rejoins the normal route for summit day. We use four camps that are well spaced at 2,000 ft intervals. This distance between camps is ideal acclimatization.
* Difficulty: Most routes are non-technical, but involve strenuous hiking at high altitude carrying a 50lb to 60lb backpack.
* Trip Length: 20 days from Mendoza to Mendoza, however most trips typically take 17 or 18 days.
* PRICES & DATES: Please see our schedule for current departure information.
