Do you want to discover the beauty of Aconcagua? Then follow me on this full-day trek to Confluencia!
Aconcagua (6960m) is one of the most famous mountains in the world. Part of the Andes, this impressive peak is the highest in America and the second highest of the Seven Summits. Located in Argentina, 112 km northwest of the city of Mendoza, it is protected by the Aconcagua Provincial Park.
On this short and classic trek, we will reach Confluencia, the first acclimatization base camp of Aconcagua. After meeting in Mendoza City, I will drive you to the park entrance. Our hiking adventure will begin at Horcones Valley and cross breathtaking spots such as Puente del Inca.
The trails are easy to follow, so you don’t need to be an expert hiker. However, a good fitness level is required, due to the effects of high altitudes. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you on your way.
So, if you want to explore the awesome Aconcagua Park, please contact me. Let’s hike to Confluencia together and enjoy amazing views of a unique landscape!
Additionally, I can also take you to Plaza Francia, another popular spot in the area. Check it out here.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
