Trail description

A walk into the high Andes of Mendoza along the approach to Aconcagua, the highest mountain outside the Himalaya. From the Horcones ranger station the trail follows a barren valley to the first camp at Confluencia. A taste of the great peak for those not attempting the summit, at serious altitude.
