Going up the mountain was moderate in difficulty with no precipices and we saw several guanoco’s (?). Overall, a great hike, beautiful views and a great guide.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 25 reviews · 270 minutes - 8 hours · from $75

Hike to Cerro Calavera near Potrerillos for panoramic Cordón del Plata views, then enjoy lunch and downtime back at the base before heading to Mendoza.

“De wandeling zelf was top en de extra uitleg van de gids ook. De lunch was niet zo lekker en we hebben lang moeten wachten. De bus was een half uur te laat (geen communicatie) en op het base camp hebben we erg lang in de bus gewacht alvorens we tot het start punt van de wandeling reden (reden weet ik niet). We vonden de prijs nogal hoog voor deze activiteit.”

Hike Aconcagua’s base camp area from Mendoza on a small-group trek with hotel pickup, bilingual guide, and photo-ready Andean views.

“I'll start by saying our guide and driver were great. There were three things I'll call out and were not clear: 1. Part of the description leads you to believe lunch is included. It is NOT. This is clear in the "what's included" section. Viator needs to fix the description. We got confused because of the conflicting information. Our driver stopped in Upsallata and we grabbed lunch there, so no big deal. Just know lunch is not included. 2. We had arranged for a 7:20 pickup time. Turns out we did not get picked up until 8:00. The operator decided last minute on a later start. I would have liked…”
