Come climb Aconcagua with Natural High Alpine Adventures.

Our Aconcagua climbing expeditions are among the best in the world. For 2008 Natural High is now offering a new route to the summit of Aconcagua. We call it our Guancos Polish Falso route. This non-technical route is an amazing and safer option for climbing Aconcagua. As the Argentine Government has closed the lower Guanacos route until further notice we have chosen to do a route that combines the Polish Falso route with the upper Guanacos route. For the first two days of the approach to base camp we follow the same route as the Guanacos Valley route (the Vacas Valley) and then turn up the Relinchos Valley and trek to our new fully equipped base camp at Plaza Argentina. From Plaza Argentina we follow the same route as the False Polish until camp 1. From camp 1 on the False Polish route we traverse over to the more remote Guanacos route via a saddle between Ameghino and Aconcagua. We then follow the less travelled Upper Guanacos route and establish an extra camp on the way. By taking this route and adding one camp it allows us a safer acclimatization program than the False Polish Route and gives us a more remote, private experience.
We begin and end our Aconcagua expeditions in the layed back city of Mendoza where we can enjoy the local culture, cuisine and world class wine of Argentina. Our accommodations are in one of the nicest hotels in the heart of Mendoza.

As we climb Aconcagua we follow the best acclimatization schedule on the mountain starting with a mule supported three-day trek to basecamp. The expedition is highlighted with a long summit day as we take our time to reach the summit safely. The views of the Andes as the sun rises are astonishing! Finally we descend the normal route of Aconcagua so we can experience basecamp life at Plaza de Mulas. Here we'd love to treat you to a pizza and beer to celebrate your climb of Aconcagua.

Aconcagua is a dream of many...let Natural High Alpine Adventures help you achieve your dream.

The translation of the name Aconcagua is widely accepted as the "Stone Sentinel". This great snow, ice and rock covered mountain rises to an altitude of 6962 metres (22,841ft.) and is the highest point in the western and southern hemispheres. It is located in the Central Andes near the Argentine - Chilean border. The beautiful landscape that surrounds the Stone Sentinel is graced with stunning views of 5000 and 6000 metre Andean peaks.
