Highlights
This is a private Aconcagua hiking experience, with the day organized around you rather than a larger group departure. You’ll hike to Confluencia with a professional mountain guide who also works on Aconcagua expeditions and summit ascents. This means your guide knows the mountain beyond the day-hiking route and can share firsthand knowledge about its camps, altitude, expedition life, and what it takes to climb the highest peak in the Americas. The journey also includes a dedicated driver separate from your mountain guide. With approximately 400 km of driving and a 13-hour day, each professional has a specific role: your guide focuses on the mountain and your driver takes care of the long journey to and from Aconcagua. Private hiking, real Aconcagua experience, and separate professionals for the mountain and the road — all organized as one full-day experience from Mendoza.

About Mendoza
Mendoza is a wine city of tree-lined avenues and irrigation channels on a dry plain, with the high Andes rising to the west.
Mendoza was largely rebuilt after the earthquake of 1861, which is why its streets are wide and its squares open. Plane trees shade the pavements, watered by old irrigation channels called acequias. Plaza Independencia sits at the centre with four smaller squares around it, and the great Parque General San Martín climbs to the Cerro de la Gloria, a monument with a view over the city.
Top-ranked sights in Mendoza: Puente del Inca (Inca Bridge), Uspallata, Aconcagua Provincial Park.
