I want to take you on a 4-day trek to the Plaza Francia.
Not far from the city of Mendoza, we will venture inside the Aconcagua Provincial park. Within the park, the Plaza Francia is the most beautiful part. Once there, you will be able to see Aconcagua South Face, a gorgeous 3000 meter wall of sheer glacier.
Besides being the highest peak in the Americas, Mount Aconcagua is the second highest peak of the seven summits circuit. Being near this mountain will serve as the perfect first step to high altitude environments. Mainly because of the elevation and geographic and weather conditions. Thus making it a great first step if you have dreams of scaling the world's mightiest peaks.
We will first start our journey in the city of Mendoza. After that we will go to Penitentes before making our way to camp at Confluencia. From there it's up to the Plaza Francia, where you will see the awe-inspiring icy southern face of the great Mount Aconcagua. Finally we will descent back to Confluencia before going back to Mendoza.
To see the majestic face of one of the world's greatest mountains is unlike anything else you can see. And if you join me on this trip to the Plaza Francia, you will be one of lucky ones to say you did.
I will be awaiting your message.
And if you want to scale the Colossus of the Americas, you can join me on this trip.
Breakfast. Private transfer to Aconcagua provincial park entrance. 4 hour trek to campsite at Confluencia.
Late breakfast. Trek to Plaza Francia to see southern face of Mount Aconcagua. Return to Confluencia for the night.
Breakfast. Descend to Horcones. Private transfer back to Mendoza.
Accommodation One night lodging in Penitentes. Camping at Confluencia and. |
Meeting point City of Mendoza |
Mountain Guide - EPGAMT - Argentina
I was born in Patagonia, Argentina and formed at an early age as a climber in the Nahuel Huapi National Park. Currently I completed a large number of rock and ice climbing routes, backcountry skiing and ascents in many mountains around the world such as Mt. Lhotse (8.516 mts.), the 4th highest peak in the world, without using supplemental oxygen (May, 2012).
I'm a certified Mountain Guide from the EPGAMT and a member of the Argentinian Mountain Guides Association (AAGM) and work on Mt. Aconcagua, which I had repeatedly ascended, as well as in other peaks in the Central Andes, Patagonia, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and in The Himalayas in Nepal.
During the winter season, I practice backcountry skiing, mostly on the volcanoes in Patagonia, where I can offer you different adventures, according to your level (beginner, learner or advanced learner).
I feel very privileged to work as a mountain guide, to do the job that I love, and to be able to share it with people that have the same passion.
Join my expeditions and I will provide you a high standard of safety and personal attention!

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 !"
