Hike to Confluencia Camp in Aconcagua

About this experience

This is a private Aconcagua hiking experience, with the day organized around you rather than a larger group departure.

You’ll hike to Confluencia with a professional mountain guide who also works on Aconcagua expeditions and summit ascents. This means your guide knows the mountain beyond the day-hiking route and can share firsthand knowledge about its camps, altitude, expedition life, and what it takes to climb the highest peak in the Americas.

The journey also includes a dedicated driver separate from your mountain guide. With approximately 400 km of driving and a 13-hour day, each professional has a specific role: your guide focuses on the mountain and your driver takes care of the long journey to and from Aconcagua.

Private hiking, real Aconcagua experience, and separate professionals for the mountain and the road — all organized as one full-day experience from Mendoza.

Things to do in Cuyo

Guide

  • The snow-streaked summit of Aconcagua rising above a dry Andean valley

    Guide

    Aconcagua, and what it takes to walk in

    At 6,961 m it is the highest mountain outside Asia, and most people who see it do so from a car park on Ruta 7. The trek to Confluencia and Plaza de Mulas is the honest middle ground.

  • Route 7 running west out of Uspallata between bare Andean ridges

    Guide

    The Alta Montaña road, Mendoza to the border

    Route 7 west out of Mendoza climbs 3,000 metres to the Chilean border past Potrerillos, Uspallata, Puente del Inca and the Aconcagua lookout. What to stop for, and what the day actually costs you.
