Very happy hikers!
We had a wonderful time at Cordon del Plata with Agustín and Matias. We had a private group of 4 with pairs at different paces, and they created a perfect day for both of us. Agustín took the faster hikers up Lomas Blancas and Caucaso then down the moraine, while Matias and the slower group did Arenales only. Everyone had a perfect day for their ability and experience with altitude and were very happy!
The park is beautiful with a great view of the valley and mountains. We even saw some epic condors and guanajo.
Operator response
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this review!
We’re truly happy to read that you had such a great experience at Cordon del Plata with Agustín and Matías. Designing the day according to each pair’s pace and altitude experience is exactly how we believe mountain guiding should be done — personalized, flexible, and focused on making sure everyone enjoys the best possible version of the adventure.
Lomas Blancas, Caucaso, Arenales… that’s a fantastic combination. And spotting condors and guanacos always makes the Andes feel even more epic.
It was a pleasure guiding your group, and we’re proud that both teams finished the day feeling accomplished and happy.
You’ll always have a mountain waiting for you here in Mendoza.
Thank you again for trusting Andes Vertical.

Guide Matías N. / Aconcagua Horcones Valley Day Trip
I did the “Aconcagua Horcones Hiking Day Tour” with guide Matías N. Everything was perfect, from the on-time pickup at my lodgings (Casa Reconquista) in Mendoza city, to the trip out to the mountain, the hike itself, and the return to the city. We made welcome rest stops both coming and going. On the way out, I had an espresso drink (!) and food, and on the way back, I chose hot cocoa. Mid-way through the hike, we stopped for an excellent lunch that Matías himself had prepared. I am a picky vegetarian – I can’t eat cheese, tomatoes, etc. --- and yet I had no trouble finding food at the rest stops, and Matías’s lunch was perfect for me. I add this b/c if I managed with my food pickiness, you should be fine. Guide Matías himself is kind, knowledgeable, warm, genuine, and good-humored. This hike was the highlight of my trip to Mendoza. I would absolutely hike with Andes Vertical again, in a heartbeat. Thank you Matías!
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that your Aconcagua Horcones Day Tour was a highlight of your trip — and even more so that Matías made it such a smooth, memorable, and personalized adventure.
He’ll be especially happy to know his lunch hit the mark! We know how important dietary needs are, and we’re glad you felt well taken care of at every stop.
Your kind words mean a lot to our whole team. We’d love to have you back anytime for another Andes adventure — the mountains will be waiting!

An unforgettable day at the Cordon del Plata
We live an incredible experience trekking in the Cordon del Plata. We had a spectacular day, with an ideal climate that allowed us to enjoy the landscape to the fullest. We were able to summit Cerro Arenales, a goal that filled us with satisfaction and that was worth every step of the ascent.
Our guide Matias was excellent: very friendly, attentive and very experienced. The best thing was that he knew how to adapt the start to the rhythm that everyone could carry, making us all feel comfortable and safe throughout the day.
A highly recommended adventure for those looking for nature, challenge and good company.

¡Gracias por recomendarnos! Estaremos encantados de acompañarte en futuras aventuras.
