The summit of Aconcagua (22,834 ft.) is the main objective of this 3-week expedition to the southern hemisphere. We will be attempting the regular route which, while not requiring a high degree of technical expertise, does require a relatively high level of commitment and conditioning due to the nature of the weather and high altitude involved. It is strenuous and reaching the summit requires a sustained effort that can only be realized through proper training and conditioning.
What to Expect: We will be climbing to high elevations (over 20,000 ft.). Your physical conditioning, mental attitude, and flexibility will all be factors in making an exciting, fun, and successful trip.
You will be required to carry your share of the group equipment and food while climbing to our high camps. We try to keep this weight to a minimum with the use of burros/horses up to base camp.
We are traveling and climbing in a foreign country, and while Sierra Wilderness Seminars Inc. makes the best possible plans and tries to account for all possibilities, this is adventure travel and part of the adventure is being flexible, and making changes to the itinerary as needed to account for local conditions. If you keep this in mind you will have an exciting and fun-filled adventure!
