Aconcagua Park Walk & Argentine BBQ from Mendoza.

About this activity

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.
