This adventure is one of the most fascinating in America: reaching the summit of Aconcagua at 6962 m.
This mountain has a special magnetism that attracts mountaineers from all over the world who dream to reach its peak.
As an IFMGA mountain guide, I had the chance to guide 40 expeditions that reached the summit on the last 25 years.
During this time I learned about the challenges that you can face during this expedition, and the best way to overcome them. In fact, I share all my experience in my own book: ‘Aconcagua, La Cima de América’.
In this expedition I offer a great adventure for mountaineers in high altitude. You can learn about living in harmony with nature, fellowship and solidarity. Actually, I believe these are the most valuable things about being in the mountains.
You will have to make a big effort, so you should be really prepared and trained, both physically and mentally.
Besides, I’ll make a nice video during the ascent and I'll give it to you at the end.
Please contact me if you want to reach the Summit of America! I will be glad to be your guide there.
I organize other trips in the Andes Mountains, like climbing Tupungato Volcano (also in Argentina) or ascending Pequeño Alpamayo, in Peru.

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 !"
