Description

The Cerro Vallecitos guided ascent is the perfect opportunity to summit an amazing peak, with a great view of the Central Andes!

This 6-day Cerro Vallecitos Summit could be an ideal acclimatization ascent if you're looking to hike some higher mountains in the area. Also, Because it's very close to Mendoza it is a great place for an adventure if you are in the area.

Cerro Vallecitos is located on the Cordon del Plata range. Along with Cerro Rincón and Cerro Plata, it is one of the main peaks in this mountain range. Furthermore, it's very popular because of the easy path to the summit. Due to this privileged access to the top, it takes a relatively short amount of time to make an ascent. Also, the gradual high of the ascent makes it a good learning experience.

I'll pick you up at Mendoza. We'll drive up to Vallecitos Ski Resort, where we'll stay at the Refugio Mausy (2900 m). The next two days will be a gradually ascent to Piedra Grande Camp (3500 m) first. And El Salto Camp (4200 m) second. Then we'll enjoy an acclimatization day to gather forces.

Finally, on the fifth day I'll guide you to the Cerro Vallecitos summit (5550 m) through the trail that heads north. We'll go across a class III scramble before getting to the summit. The next day, we'll be heading back to Mendoza.

So don't think twice! Come join me in this exciting mountaineering experience! Whether you want to acclimatize for the Aconcagua, or just looking for a great view of the scenery contact me!

Mountain Guide

Mountain Guide - EPGAMT - Argentina
I was born in Patagonia, Argentina and formed at an early age as a climber in the Nahuel Huapi National Park. Currently I completed a large number of rock and ice climbing routes, backcountry skiing and ascents in many mountains around the world such as Mt. Lhotse (8.516 mts.), the 4th highest peak in the world, without using supplemental oxygen (May, 2012).
I'm a certified Mountain Guide from the EPGAMT and a member of the Argentinian Mountain Guides Association (AAGM) and work on Mt. Aconcagua, which I had repeatedly ascended, as well as in other peaks in the Central Andes, Patagonia, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and in The Himalayas in Nepal.
During the winter season, I practice backcountry skiing, mostly on the volcanoes in Patagonia, where I can offer you different adventures, according to your level (beginner, learner or advanced learner).
I feel very privileged to work as a mountain guide, to do the job that I love, and to be able to share it with people that have the same passion.
Join my expeditions and I will provide you a high standard of safety and personal attention!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
