Description

On this 4 day adventure, you will get to climb to the top of the incredible Cerro Penitentes (4,351m) in the Andes of Argentina.

Located near the city of Mendoza, Penitentes is a truly unique and beautiful peak. It is also located not far from the highest mountain in the Americas, the mythical Aconcagua (6,962m). If the day is clear enough, you may even be able to see Aconcagua from the summit!

The trip will begin in the city of Mendoza. At approximately 9:00 am, we will drive approximately 180 kilometers to Penitentes. Upon arrival, we will trek to the base camp by the Quebrada de Vargas (3,300m), where we will spend the night. On the second day, for the purpose of acclimatization, we will rest and take light walks around the base camp area. On the third day, we will climb to the summit of Penitentes before returning to base camp for the night. The total time for the climb should be approximately 8-10 hours. And finally, on the last day of the trip, we will depart from base camp and drive back to Mendoza.

In order to participate on this trip, you should be in good physical condition. Prior mountaineering experience is also advantageous as well.

Climbing the Cerro Penitentes is a glorious experience. The views you will get to enjoy are priceless. To join me on this 4 day expedition, just send me a request.

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.
