Climb Aconcagua

The second highest of the Seven Summits and the highest peak in South America, the breathtaking Aconcagua is a giant of a mountain and dominates the Andes Mountain Range.

Stretching across nearly 9,000km, the illustrious Andes stand as the world's longest mountain range. The ascent of Argentina's Aconcagua is an attractive alternative to those seeking the thrill of standing on a famous summit without the costs associated with an Everest endeavour. This peak holds the distinction of being the highest non-technical mountain globally, promising a formidable yet accessible challenge. For those wanting an awe-inspiring adventure characterised by glaciers, alpine camps at dizzying heights, and a summit that unveils an unparalleled panoramic view, climbing Aconcagua emerges as the perfect choice.

Highlight of Aconcagua

The highlight of Aconcagua has to be reaching its peak, and experiencing the sense of accomplishment as well as taking in the breathtaking views. The rugged beauty of the Andes, the sense of camaraderie among fellow climbers, and the journey's transformative nature all contribute to making an Aconcagua summit an unforgettable and cherished experience.

Why Climb Aconcagua with KE Adventures

We've been climbing Aconcagua for decades and understand how what you need to increase the chance of getting to the summit. We don't use UK based guides, but keep it local with teams that live and breathe the mountain. Alongside that we keep the guiding ratio down to just 1:3. To increase your chances further we set aside 3 possible summit days in case of bad weather or fatigue.
