Would you like to catch one of the most stunning views of the Andes Mountains? Then join me on this 3-day adventure to the top of the breathtaking Cerro Penitentes in Mendoza!
Cerro Penitentes is located in the Andes Mountains in Mendoza Province in Argentina. This impressive peak boasts a 4,350m altitude and offers one of the most awe-inspiring views of the Andes and of Aconcagua from its summit. Furthermore, the Penitentes climb is straightforward and doesn’t require technical skills.
On this 3-day adventure, we will start by driving to Penitentes where we will set off on our hike towards the base camp. Then, on the second day, we will attempt the summit before returning to our campsite. Finally, on the third day, we will return to Mendoza. On the way, we will enjoy awe-inspiring views of the Andes and of Aconcagua. You can find a detailed itinerary below.
Please keep in mind that this is not a technical climb. However, you will need a good fitness level as we will be hiking between 5-7 hours per day. Additionally, the trek is more challenging in the winter and requires special equipment, so take this into consideration when planning. Of course, I will be there every step of the way to help and guide you.

The entire trip from the admin side with explore-share to Guillermo’s organisation and personality was superb. The mountain is stunning, with vivid colours of the rainbow. Guillermo provided support, humour and knowledge along the way to the summit with breath taking views of Aconcagua and the Andes. I spent New Year’s Eve playing cards, drinking the finest Cab Franc from Zapata wine, salami from Tandil, and trying to identify the constellations in the magical sky, near the fire with Guillermo. Highly recommended.
