9-day Ansilta Peak Hike in the Andes

The Ansilta Peaks lie in the heart of the Andes mountains in the Argentine San Juan province. 7 peaks make up this chain of mountains whose altitudes range between 5116 and 5886 mts. Consequently, each of these peaks provides numerous trekking routes to discover the beautiful Andean landscapes. On this 9-day climbing expedition, we will guide you to some of the stunning summits of the Ansiltas!

We will begin with a 6 hour drive from Mendoza to Los Morrillos. Los Morrillos is a beautiful natural reserve in San Juan. Furthermore, it is also an important archeological site with a strong indigenous heritage.  From Los Morillos, on day 2,  we will head to a stream in the mountains called Arroyo Fiero.  Then, after a night of camping out in nature, we will continue up to the Ansilta 3 and 4 base camp. Because we will be steadily ascending up the Andean mountains, we will take a day to acclimatise before attempting the first summit of Ansilta 4. Then, we will take a day to recover from this exhilarating climb. Once we are back on our feet, we will attempt the slightly more demanding summit of Ansilta 3 . Finally, we will wrap up our tour by walking back to Los Morrillos and then driving back to Mendoza. 

Because these are challenging ascents, we require a good fitness level. However, we will be there to guide and help you every step of the way, and we also contemplate acclimatisation and rest into our schedule. Furthermore, all the hard work is well worth the effort as we will enjoy a unique experience with stunning landscapes all around us!
