This Two 4-thousander ascents in Penitentes will take you up to two beautiful peaks in the Andes.
So in this opportunity, I'll guide you to the summit of mount Penitentes (4350 m) and mount Guimón (4238 m). Both peaks are known for their amazing views.
Penitentes is a small town, with a ski resort, located 170 km west of Mendoza. The town, and the mount, get their names from some rock formations, that look like monks on a pilgrimage to a cathedral. And they are especially beautiful in winter when they are covered in snow.
So the first day we'll cross the Las Cuevas River and hike up to the beginning of the Quebrada Vargas. Then, the next day we'll hike up to 3200 meters, where we'll set our base camp. And the following 2 days will be summit days!
This will be an intense journey and you should be in good shape, so your able to do 2 summits in the following days. But it doesn't require a lot of mountaineering experience.
So if you'd like to Join me for this Two 4-thousander ascents in Penitentes please contact me to check the details and start preparing this adventure.

Mountain Leader
EPGAMT Mountain guide from Argentina.
The mountain is my workplace and space to enjoy what I like to do ... mountaineering.
I climbedd and promoted various mountains and volcanoes such as: Aconcagua , Ojos del Salado, Pissis , Walter Penck , Incahuasi, Plata, Rincon, Vallecitos , etc.
The mountain can find oneself, to rediscover the essence and every moment. It is a natural place that transmits balance, harmony, tranquility and at the same time, tests us and motivates us to self-improvement. The mountain is accessible to all, just enough to take the first step ... we offer a different experience to share.
