Tupungato (6,570m), 14-day Expedition to the summit, near Mendoza

The Tupungato peak (6,570m) in the Argentinean province of Mendoza is a magnificent peak. That is why I am very pleased to offer this 14-day adventure that will take you to its majestic summit.

Our journey to the summit of Tupungato will begin in the city of Mendoza. After your arrival there, we will transfer to the city of Tupungato, where you will spend the night. On the following day, we will go to the El Condor Refugio, where you will spend the night, while also getting properly acclimatized. On the next day, we will venture to the Real de los Bayos entrance to the Tupungato Volcano Provincial Park by the Santa Clara River and Tres Quebradas. Once there, we will set up our first camp, where we will eat and rest for the night.

Over the next few days, we will proceed to higher altitudes, setting up camps 2 and 3 as we go. At these camps we will take short climbs and hikes, so you can get more acclimatized.

On the eighth and ninth days of the trip, we will set up the first and second high altitude camps, as we get more prepared for our push to the summit. And, on the tenth day, we will finally ascend to the Tupungato summit. At the summit you will get to enjoy absolutely breathtaking views. After the summit, and over the next few days, we will make our descent back to the El Condor Refugio, where you will take your transfer back to Mendoza.

Participants on this trip should be in good physical condition.
