07:30 a.m. – Pick-up from your accommodation in Mendoza. A long and unforgettable day begins, heading toward the heart of Aconcagua Park.

09:15 a.m. – Technical stop in Uspallata: time to stretch your legs, use the restroom, and continue our journey into the Andes.

10:30 a.m. – Arrival at Aconcagua Provincial Park. Park entry, permit check, and final prep before starting the hike.

05:30 p.m. – End of the hike. Return drive to Mendoza.

08:00 p.m. – Drop-off at your accommodation. A long and epic day you won’t forget.

Note: Due to the full-day duration (transport and hike), the itinerary is tight and does not allow for extra free time. It’s important to stick to the scheduled times. Minor adjustments may occur due to weather, traffic, or group pace — always prioritizing safety and enjoyment.

What fitness level do I need?

You’ll be hiking 14 km at over 3,000 masl, with a 450-meter elevation gain. No mountaineering experience is required, but very good physical condition is essential. We need to maintain a steady pace to meet the park’s timing. It’s a challenging but doable experience.

What altitude will we hike at?

We start at 3,000 masl and reach 3,440 masl at Confluencia Camp.

What food is included?

We provide a cereal bar and fruit for the trail. Once we reach Confluencia, you’ll enjoy a picnic-style lunch with a sandwich or a platter (cheese, salami, homemade bread, boiled egg, hummus, tomato, etc.), depending on availability.

Can I request vegetarian or special meals?

Absolutely! Just let us know when you book.

What should I wear?

We recommend long pants, warm layers, a windbreaker, sun hat, sunglasses, and hiking shoes or sneakers. Don’t forget sunscreen, bottled water, and a personal ID (required).

You can download our full gear checklist here.

How many people are in the group?

We work with small groups. Whenever possible, the hike is private. On shared departures, there are no more than 8 people.

Where do you offer pick-up?

We pick up from Mendoza city and nearby areas within a 15 km radius.

We don’t pick up from Valle de Uco due to distance.

If you’re farther away, ask us about additional costs.

If you’re staying in Luján de Cuyo, please message us first — some areas are included, others have an extra fee.

What’s the typical temperature like?

Even during the season (November to March), temperatures can drop close to 0 °C. Bring warm layers and a waterproof windbreaker.

Why isn’t the park entry fee included?

The price and payment method change often, and the fee must be paid directly by each visitor.

We can help you get the permit, but not pay it in advance.

You can pay via Mercado Pago (online) or Pago Fácil (in person).

If you’d like us to handle it for you, ask us about the processing fee.

Can we start later? 

No. Park entry closes at 11:00 a.m., and the drive from Mendoza takes over 3 hours. That’s why departure is between 7:00 and 7:30 a.m., with no exceptions.

Can I walk at my own pace? 

Not exactly. The park has a strict closing time, so we need to keep a steady pace. You don’t have to rush, but there’s little room to stop for long breaks.

Do we stop at Puente del Inca? 

Sometimes. If timing and weather allow, we make a brief stop. But it’s not guaranteed — our focus is reaching Confluencia and returning on time.

How much time do we spend at Confluencia?

About 45 minutes. It’s a long day with tight timing. You’ll have time to eat, rest, and take in the atmosphere — then we start the return hike.

Can the itinerary change?

Yes. The weather, trail conditions, or group dynamics may require the guide to adjust the plan. Your safety and experience always come first.

What if the weather is bad?

Mountain weather can bring cold, wind, or even snow. It’s part of the adventure. Come prepared physically and mentally, with the right clothing and mindset.

What is the transportation like?

We use the most spacious and comfortable vehicles available. On some departures, depending on availability, you may need to share the back seat with two other passengers.

This helps us keep the tour price fair without compromising quality, despite the high transportation and logistical costs.

If you prefer not to share and want extra comfort, ask us about the private option.
