3-day ascent, Adolfo Calle and Stepanek peaks, Argentina

The Andes is an impressive mountain range in South America. And within this vast range, the Cordon del Plata stands out. Located in Argentina, and covering most of the province of Mendoza, it has many important peaks that rise above the 4,000 and 5,000 meters. Two of the most dazzling ones are Cerro Adolfo Calle and Cerro Stepanek.

One of the most important places in the Cordon del Plata is the Vallecitos ski center. It is only 80 kilometers outside of Mendoza city. Thus giving you the opportunity to explore not only all the natural wonders of this province, but the beautiful city of Mendoza as well. There are plenty of things to do there, including a city tour that will take you around this charming city.

And, once you get to Vallecitos, you’ll be amazed by all the magnificent mountains around. The peaks that stand out are: cerro Vallecitos (5.460m), cerro Adolfo Calle (4,200m), and cerro Stepanek (4,100m). The highest one is cerro El Plata (5,968m) and the Plata peak (5,845m). But there are many other equally beautiful that surround this area.

Our goal will be to reach the summit of Adolfo Calle and Stepanek. It will be a wonderful 3-days journey, with the absolutely most breathtaking sceneries all throughout. Also, both peaks are perfect for those with previous experience climbing smaller mountains, and are looking for a bigger challenge.

My goal is to ensure have a wonderful time, while reaching the summit of both peaks and being safe the whole time. So I’ll make sure we follow all the rules necessary to have a safe journey and a successful ascent.

If you wish to take part of this adventure, don’t hesitate and send me a request. It will be my pleasure to stand next to you at the top of Adolfo Calle and Stepanek.
