Description
Experience Aconcagua as a private journey through the Andes, with time to enjoy the mountains instead of simply driving from one attraction to the next.
The day is carefully planned with scenic and historic stops along the route, turning the journey to Aconcagua into part of the experience itself.
Inside Aconcagua Provincial Park, you’ll spend around two hours exploring the Laguna Horcones area at a relaxed pace, with time to walk, take photos, and enjoy views of Aconcagua’s impressive south face.
Because the experience is completely private, the guide is dedicated to your group and the day can follow a more personal rhythm.
We also take care of the details along the way, with coffee and Argentine croissants in Uspallata, snacks and water, park entrance, and a traditional Argentine asado with wine and dessert included.
A complete Andes experience for travelers who want to see Aconcagua without a demanding trek and without feeling rushed.

Tour for those who like nature and cold!
We really liked the tour, which was even private! The Vainilla guide was super friendly, attentive and informed us a lot about Mendoza, the Aconcagua park, Puenta del Inca etc. We made the 1h walk, with beautiful landscapes of the Aconcagua park. The lunch in Uspallata was good, well served.

Muito obrigado, Leticia!
Ficamos felizes em saber que vocês aproveitaram tanto o passeio e que a experiência com a Vanina foi tão especial.
A beleza do Parque Aconcágua e os sabores de Uspallata realmente tornam esse dia inesquecível, e foi um prazer compartilhar tudo isso com vocês.
Esperamos recebê-los novamente para novas aventuras na montanha!
Un abrazo grande,
Vanina e Joaquín – Destino Montaña 🏔️

Perfect experience
The experience in the Aconcagua park was amazing. The path, the stops at strategic points, everything perfect. The guide Almicar was incredible, very good people and driving super well. It is a long walk, where you spend plenty of time in the car, but it is super comfortable. And the landscape is so perfect that you can't feel the time passing.
In the park is quite exciting to see the Aconcagua and all the colorful mountains that are around all the time.
We made the walk to the bridge, because our group of 3 people is well prepared physically.
On the way we had lunch a barbecue and a delicious wine.
Super recommend and will definitely come back to do the camping Confluencia. And preferably with the guide Almicar, it is very very good.

Vamos repassar seus comentários ao Almicar — ele vai gostar muito de saber que fez diferença no passeio.
Esperamos que possam voltar para viver a experiência de Confluência. Será um prazer recebê-los novamente!
Um abraço,

Exuberant nature
We had an amazing day! It didn’t even seem like a long trip to the Aconcagua National Park, as the landscapes along the way are stunning. The tour itinerary is well organized, with stops for photos and food in excellent locations. We were very well served, since the booking with the agency.
The guide Amilcar was very kind and attentive with us, gave us various information and tips during the day. We are already missing and we definitely recommend the experience for those who appreciate nature.

Wonderful day trip to the Andes
An amazing day out and a chance to get into the high Andes with a knowledgeable and experienced local guide. Incredible scenery all along the drive and a beautiful hike up the valley with views of Aconcagua all the way. One of the highlights of our holiday in Argentina.

The perfect day with Vanina
This day was absolutely incredible. Vanina was so amazing, friendly and taught us so much. We made stops along the way to Aconcagua and she took photos of us in front of the amazing landscapes. She even let us try her mate! She ordered breakfast for us, gave us coffee and alfajores (traditional Argentinian snack). We had the most amazing time at lunch for our first Argentinian barbecue which was delicious! Her driving was amazing and so relaxing we were trying not to fall asleep 🤣. Her English was also so good which made it so easy to communicate with her! It really was the most incredible day and Vanina was so perfect. Can’t thank her enough.

Dream fulfilled
An unforgettable experience to be able to see the highest mountain in the Americas so close. The walk from the park entrance to the Horcones lagoon is super quiet. In addition, the route (RN7) to Aconcagua and the Puente del Inca is like a movie.
The guide Amilcar was a crack, very good vibes.
I highly recommend!
