Confluencia Hike – Aconcagua Day Trip

Hike to the first base camp of Aconcagua — the highest peak in the Americas — in just one unforgettable day.

This full-day trekking adventure takes you through the breathtaking landscapes of Aconcagua Provincial Park, starting from the Horcones entrance and reaching the legendary Confluencia Camp at 3,400 meters above sea level.

You’ll walk 16 km round trip (10 miles) with 600 meters (1,970 ft) of elevation gain, accompanied by certified mountain guides. The trail crosses hanging bridges, rivers, and wide open valleys with spectacular views of the Andes.

No technical experience is required, but good physical condition is recommended.

Includes transportation from Mendoza (within 15 km), a packed lunch, mountain guide, and all logistics.

❗ Park entrance is not included and must be purchased online in advance.
