Guided expeditions and treks
Six thousand nine hundred and sixty-two metres that leave no room for improvisation. Two valleys —Horcones and Vacas—, five camps and a weather window you have to know how to wait for. That's why we operate with our own structure and not with passing suppliers: our guides, our mules, our camps.
You climb with our certified guides. They manage the pace, the acclimatisation, the summit call and the safety of the group. All mountain logistics included. This is what you are looking at on this page.
This is for you if you want to climb alongside professionals.
You climb with your own guide or with your group already formed. We provide mules, base camp, high-altitude domes and permits, with no climbing guide.
This is for you if you are an agency, a guide or a self-sufficient mountaineer.

Treks

Entry via the Horcones · Base camp Plaza de Mulas, 4.350 m · Dos noches en domo
Five days to Aconcagua's base camp, by way of the South Face viewpoint.
Cordillera de Malargüe · Sitio del accidente del Fairchild uruguayo, 1972
Three days in the Malargüe range to the site where the Uruguayan Fairchild crashed in 1972. A mountain trek carrying enormous historical weight.
A maximum of 8 people on the Normal Route, 6 on the 360 and 4 on the Polish routes. We don't build large groups: above 5,000 m, individual attention is decisive and the guide-client relationship defines the outcome.
Aconcagua weather changes fast. All our programmes allow margin days to wait for the window. If the window doesn't open, the call is made on safety grounds and is not up for discussion.
When the viento blanco blows, you wait. When a body doesn't respond to altitude, you go down. No summit is worth more than the person attempting it.
The camps where you'll sleep, the mules carrying your gear and the staff looking after you at 4,350 m are ours. You don't depend on a chain of suppliers we don't control.
Before you go
On confirmation you receive the full gear list, the suggested training plan and the day-by-day itinerary. If you have questions before that, write anyway: we answer even if you haven't booked yet.
How we work, in four words.
A family house with the technical structure of a company. Every operation is put together by hand, in conversation: which package, how many days, how much portering, which domes. No expedition comes out of a mould and no system decides for us.
On the other end there is a person with a name, and it is always the same one. When you reach base camp, we know who you are.
Moving dates, adding portering, sending mules ahead, extending nights at altitude, changing base camp. If it can be done on the mountain, we accommodate it. Nobody is going to tell you the system won't allow it.
We answer the same day. Daily weather report, radio between Mendoza and the high-altitude domes, and a closing report when you come down.
Let's start
Tell us when you plan to climb and who you're coming with. We answer the same day, with a proposal built by hand.
