Cerro Aconcagua

Cerro Aconcagua (6959m), the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere, lies just within Argentina, some 12 kilometres from the Chilean border.

We have three trekking and climbing programmes on the mountain: the Normal Route, Vacas Valley, and the Polish Glacier Traverse

To maximise the chance of summit success on Cerro Aconcagua, we typically employ a ratio of one mountain guide to every 3 or 4 clients. In the mountains, we use two-person mountain tents. In towns, we use clean, comfortable hotels.

For more information about high altitude, please visit the Medex website.

Here you can download, for free, Travel at High Altitude - a guide to staying healthy in the mountains, a booklet which draws on the research and experience of more than 20 internationally-recognised experts.
