18 Days
Jan, Feb, Oct - Dec
Located in the Torres del Paine National Park, the Central Tower of Paine offer one of the best climbing spots of all Patagonia. It has 2800 meters of altitude and once on the top it offers incredible views of other peaks.
I propose a 18-day program in which we’ll live an exciting and challenging climb in a beautiful but hard technical route.
– DAY 1: Meeting in Punta Arenas airport. We spend the night in a hotel.
– DAY 2: This day, we drive to Torres del Paine National Park. Then, we set up the camp near Laguna Amarga.
– DAY 3 – 8: Firstly we hike to Camp 1. Horses will carry our gear. Afterwards, we move to Camp 2 while we’ll appreciate incredible landscapes. Lastly, we set up the camp in Camp 3.
– DAY 9 – 13: These days are dedicated for our summit attempts. We’ll ascend it and rappelling down to Camp 3 where lastly, we’ll rest at the end of each day.
– DAY 14 – 16: We descend from Camp 3 to Laguna Amarga.
– DAY 17: Drive back to Punta Arenas where we’ll celebrate and spend the night.
– DAY 18: Finally we take our flights back to home.
As a final point, climber must have prior rock climbing experience and an excellent physical condition because of its technical difficulty. I offer all my mountain knowledge and experience to make you live a great adventure.

Wonderful memories!!!
Great guides, great equipment, amazed about how good food was. All round a very experienced and top end operator who know what they are doing and will maximise your chances of getting to the summit. Reaching top Aconcagua was one of greatest highlights of my life thank you Aventuras Patagonicas.
From the start Aventuras Patagonicas was welcoming, which set the trip up on the right foot. The guides, Wes, Lucia and Sebastian were all excellent and worked very hard to get the group of climbers safely up and down the mountain. The food was excellent and well organized. The gear provided on the mountain (tents) were also of good quality. I would climb again with Patagonicas.
I did a 20 day climb of Aconcagua with this company. The guides were excellent and made the trip as enjoyable as possible. We had hot meals every evening and morning. Aconcagua is a hard mountain and it takes a great deal of effort to reach the top. The guides at Patagonicas are committed to each client's safety on the mountain. I would recommend them over any other company on the mountain.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
