Cerro Penitentes is located in the Andes Mountains in Mendoza Province in Argentina. This impressive peak boasts a 4,350m altitude and offers one of the most awe-inspiring views of the Andes and of Aconcagua from its summit. Furthermore, the Penitentes climb is straightforward and doesn’t require technical skills.

On this 3-day adventure, we will start by driving to Penitentes where we will set off on our hike towards the base camp. Then, on the second day, we will attempt the summit before returning to our campsite. Finally, on the third day, we will return to Mendoza. On the way, we will enjoy awe-inspiring views of the Andes and of Aconcagua. You can find a detailed itinerary below.

Please keep in mind that this is not a technical climb. However, you will need a good fitness level as we will be hiking between 5-7 hours per day. Additionally, the trek is more challenging in the winter and requires special equipment, so take this into consideration when planning. Of course, I will be there every step of the way to help and guide you.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
