Summit in the Ramada Range, San Juan

Ramada Range is one of the most beautiful and unexplored places in the Central Andes, in San Juan Province, Argentina. In fact, there is a lot of wild fauna to see and challenging river crossings!

It has 5 peaks over 6000 m: Pico Polaco (6000m), La Mesa (6200m), Alma Negra (6120m), Ramada (6380m) and Mercedario (6720m).

This 12-day program aims to take you to the summit of one of these peaks. We can adapt the journey, and decide which one to aim at according to your preferences. Of course it will also be adjusted to your fitness level and the weather conditions.

We have two different valleys from where we can approach the range. The first one is following the Colorado River valley to arrive to Base Camp, from where we can choose from easy routes to hard ice climbing routes to climb most of the peaks of the range, like Ramada, Alma Negra, La Mesa, Pico Polaco, and Mercedario South Face. The other option is to access through the Laguna Blanca Valley, from where we can climb Mercedario’s normal route.
