Description

Would you like to discover some of the most stunning peaks near Mendoza? Then join me on a 2-day program to one of the 4000 m summits in the central Andes!

With the central Andes at its western flank, Mendoza is famous for its beautiful mountain landscapes. It is also a great starting spot for a mountaineering adventure. In this 2-day program, I will take you to the top of one of the many 4000 m peaks in the region. Options include summits in ‘Cordon del Plata’ range: Cerro Stepanek, Cerro San Bernardo, Cerro Adolfo Calle or Cerro Pedro Zanni in ‘Cordillera del Límite’.

We will meet the day before our adventure in Mendoza to check equipment. Then, the next day we will set off to the mountain together where we will begin hiking and acclimatizing. On the second day of our adventure, we will climb to the summit of our mountain of choice, and revel at the stunning views from the top. Finally, we will descend and return to the city in the afternoon.

Keep in mind that you will need to be physically fit to join this program. We will enjoy hiking for 8 to 10 hours per day. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
