Towering above its neighboring peaks in the heart of the central Andes, Aconcagua rises to 22,841', making it the highest peak in the world outside of the Himalaya. Surrounded by peaks of over 19,000', Aconcagua is a stunning and rugged mountain. It is the ideal challenge for those who are ready to take their mountaineering to a new level, achieve a significant personal goal, and tackle one of the “Seven Summits”!

Aconcagua requires only a minimum of technical climbing experience. Due to the high altitude and severe winds, however, the climb can be extremely challenging and serious.

Our Falso Polacos Expedition – The advantage of this expedition lies in the tried and true nature of this itinerary as the successful traditional model of our previous ascents. This option ascends the Vacas and Relinchos Valleys to our High Camp (19,000') at the base of the Polish Glacier. The route then ascends a rising traverse to the northwest, and connects with the Ruta Normal at approximately 20,000'. After reaching the summit, we retrace our steps descending through the Vacas Valley.
