In the past, we have approached Aconcagua via the relatively untouched Guanacos Valley, a non-technical, pristine approach to the mountain. Appealing for its aesthetic quality, this route was chosen to improve acclimatization for the summit. At present, the lower part of this valley has been closed by the Park Service. Our alternative is to approach Aconcagua via the Ameghino and Upper Guanacos Valleys. This approach has proven to be an excellent alternative to our Guanacos Route and a variation of our former Relinchos Route, which we have successfully guided for many years and provides for adequate acclimatization in contrast to the Normal Route.

We have state of the art portable satellite phones with us at all times, available for you to call anywhere in the world if needed (a charge for the calls will apply).

We use pulse oximeters to daily monitor your acclimatization by checking your oxygen saturation level. To review a sample chart, click here.

We have Gamow Bags stationed at each Base Camp.

We have a state of the art Base Camp set up for the season.

We use the latest gear, new or almost new equipment on every trip. We renew most of our gear at the beginning of each Aconcagua season. A necessity since gear does take a beating on Aconcagua.

We traverse the mountain to give you an entire experience of Aconcagua, to accomplish proper acclimatization on the ascent, and for a quick descent.
