Nevado Juncal is located in the border between Chile and Argentina. It has an altitude around the 6110 meters. Juncal is one the most impressive mountains of the Chilean Central Andes and offers a great variety of terrains for climbing.

– Day 1: Meeting at Santiago. Dinner and night at a hotel.
– Day 2: We drive from Santiago to our first base camp at the foot of the beautiful Juncal Glacier. Night at camp.
– Day 3: Acclimatization day. We prepare ourselves for climb the higher camps the next days.
– Day 4- 8: The acclimatization process continue.During this days we’ll leave Base Camp and ascend up to Camp III, the highest one before our summit.
– Day 9 – 10: Nevado Juncal climb. The climbing day will depend on how group is doing.
– Day 11: Descend to Base Camp. Night there.
– Day 12: Return to Santiago. Dinner Celebration. Next day we fly back home.
Climbers must have prior mountaineering experience and also be in excellent physical condition. In addition, participants should be trained to use ice axe and crampons.

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.
