What is the best route to climb aconcagua?

Answer 1

For starters I would check out Mendoza cos it is a great city. You can go rafting (at midnight if it is a full moon), horse riding in the mountains and paragliding. The nightlife is also good there. When you are at the bus stop there are people who offer you rooms in their house. I stayed with a lady rather than a hostel and she was fantastic and helpful.

Aconcagua is an incredibly diverse mountain offering interesting routes for climbers of all abilities.

The Normal Route of Mount Aconcagua, also known as the North-West Ridge, is a non-technical climb that should not be underestimated; extreme altitude (6,960m / 22,840ft) and weather (-20C / -30C) make this a challenging climb. Proper acclimatization, personal equipment and physical fitness are a must.

The Polish Glacier Route offers a more exciting way to climb Aconcagua. It is for the more experienced mountaineer, and the person who is looking for a less traveled route on the mountain. For this route you need basic mountaineering skills, including knowledge of roped glacier travel and technical terrain consisting of 40-50 degree snow and ice.

Answer 2

My parents were last year in Boston and in New york and they counted very pretty things and they showed some spectacular pictures of USA, so I wait that they pass it very well in Mendoza, I recommend them that the county of Missions and the Counties of Río Negro and Chubut province visit they have some landscapes that move.

I needed to comment them that not all the Argentinians are resentful with united states how I read in a question that made an Argentinian, I astonished their so educated form of treating to the other ones their so correct way.

Not all Argentinians adore Maradona, it was the best player in soccer of the world, but his personality it is not anything good.

Don't be allowed to deceive for the Argentinean guides of tourism when they come to Buenos Aires,Perón and Evita they abused of the labor Argentinean class, they were the most corrupt, thieves and hidden murderers.They are those that began the corruption in this country.

I wish them a very good trip and a good time in the aconcagua mountain.

Sorry, my English is very bad!
