For 20 wonderful days, I would like to guide you to the top of Aconcagua by way of the peak’s northeast side, and lead you back down. Every day of this unforgettable trek will bring you new and stupendous views of not just the peak’s surroundings, but of the Andes as well.
The trip will begin in the lovely Argentinean city of Mendoza. From there we will enter the Aconcagua national park. After that, we will progress our way to the summit.
Since this trip lasts nearly 3 weeks, there will be no need to rush during this adventure. Instead, we will be taking our time, making steady progress day after day. There will also be several rest days as well. Hence giving you a lot of time to not just admire the glorious views you get throughout Aconcagua, but to also properly acclimatize. This is very important, as it will ensure you don’t have to endure any altitude sickness.
You will get to visit many popular spots on Aconcagua during this ascent. Those spots include the following.
Confluencia camp (3,368m)
Plaze de Mulas base camp (4,300m)
Cerro Bonete (5,100m)
Canada Camp (4,910m)
Nido de Condores (5,380m)
Colera Camp (5,870m)
And every night, you will get to rest after a long day’s climbing and practising at a comfortable campsite.
Climbing a mighty mountain like Aconcagua is an experience you will never forget. The views you will get throughout the ascent, and especially at the mountain’s apex, will stay with you for the rest of your life. All you have to do to experience this incredible climb for yourself is send me a request.
Accommodation 5 star hotels in Mendoza and Penitentes, 2 nights Hosteria in Uspallata, 7 nights full board at Plaza de Mulas base camp. |

I´m based in Bariloche, Patagonia, where I guide full time, mostly technical custom trips with small groups.
I started guiding in 1998, and my job took me all around the globe. In Montana, USA, where I lived for many years I worked extensively in the Rockies, guiding in the Tetons, Wind Rivers, and the Beartooths. Back to Argentina, I spend most of my time ski guiding volcanoes, rock climbing at Frey and mountaineering in Chalten and Tronador.
The rest of time I work as a Technical director at the AAGM, forming new guides, and trying to be an exciting dad for my two kids, taking advantage of the great backyard we have at home!

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
