Mount Penitentes is located in the border of Chile and Argentina, in the Andes Mountain Range. This time, I want to invite you to a trekking tour of 360° around this area. The circuit is 40 km long and it’s really awesome.
During this hiking adventure of 5 days, we will first go up to the Serrata Pass at 4.000 meters high. Once in the summit, you won’t believe such an amazing viewpoint of Mount Aconcagua and many other Andean peaks.
Then, we descend to the Valley of Tupungato and have another magical sight of this volcano. Tupungato Volcano is the 4th highest volcano of the world. It is surrounded by pure wilderness and a great variety of vegetation and animals.
If you want more information about this 360° guided tour around Mount Penitentes, please read the following itinerary:
We will meet at your hotel in Mendoza Capital City. We’ll check your equipment or rent one in case you don’t have it.
We’ll move by transfer to 2.800-meter Penitentes. There will be our trail-head in direction to the first base camp. We will hike up to there for about 6 hours. This trek will help you to get acclimatized. Then, we’ll spend the night in a campsite.
On our 3rd day we’ll hike towards the Serrata Pass. Then, a hike down awaits in direction to a wide valley. After that, we set up our camp 2 at 3.270m. Total walking time of the day: 6-8 hours.
We follow the valley “Quebrada Arroyo Blanco” hiking down for about 6 hours. The trail is quite flat with only 2 or 3 river crossings. We’ll spend the last night in a hut called Refugio Blanco.
Final 8 kilometers of hike along the “Quebrada del Tupungato” Valley. Our ending point will be on the International Route to Chile after 6 or 8 walking hours. From there, a transfer will take us back to Mendoza city.

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 !"
