Aconcagua Base Camp trekking and Cerro Bonete Climbing ( 5000 meter high) 9 days
This program will invigorate you with the emotion of high altitude and will allow you to view the most imposing walls of the highest peak of America, taking you to the summit of Mount Bonete at 5,000m which, in addition to withholding its own grandeur, constitutes a privileged scenario from which you can contemplate an extraordinary vastness and singular beauty, surrounding the Aconcagua.

Mount Aconcagua stands out among the mountain range for its sheer size. It is said that indigenous people named it "Ackon Cahuak", which means the Stone Sentinel. It was noticed long before our time and respected. We highly recommend hiring a guide to insure your safety. This mountain towers at 22, 840 feet, and it is the tallest in the Americas. It is 4,000 feet higher than any of the neighboring mountains in the Andes.
