It is recommended to start a physical training program at least 4-6 months before the expedition. Prior acclimatization is key to success on Aconcagua.

While not mandatory for all routes, it is strongly recommended to hire a certified guide to maximize safety and chances of success.
Technical mountain gear is required, including clothing for extreme temperatures, double boots, a high-altitude sleeping bag, trekking poles, sunglasses, gloves, and other specific items.
We have guides certified in first aid, continuous communication, and access to medical services at the main camps.
Acclimatization is essential to prevent altitude sickness and increase the chances of success.
The main risks are altitude sickness, hypothermia, and physical injuries. Our guides are trained to identify symptoms and make quick decisions, including evacuation when necessary.
