Description

If you are looking for a good mountaineering trip with a local mountain guide, you are in the right place. And, what’s more, Mount El Plata is the perfect peak for you.

Mount El Plata is the highest peak of Cordon del Plata, a sub-range of the Andes. Besides, many climbers consider this mountain is probably the best mountaineering option in Mendoza.

Mount El Plata is also chosen by mountaineers who want an acclimatization climb before the biggest goal of South America: Mount Aconcagua.

That’s why I have prepared this climbing trip specially for those expecting their first challenge upper to 6.000 meters high or a warm up for future objectives.

Mount El Plata is really iconic in the mountaineering world. Moreover, a lot of worldwide athletes come to Argentina to live this ascent, as one of the greatest challenges of the Andes.

So, I want to invite you to a 7-day guided expedition to this summit. Besides El Plata, there are other interesting peaks to climb. For example, Pico Plata (a bit less high mountain) or Mount Vallecitos.

I also have to mention that once at Mount El Plata summit, you’ll admire one of the most perfect views of the Andean peaks:

Tupungato
Cerro Polleras
Cerro Negro
Cerro Pabellon
Ameghino Peak
Cerro Mercedario
And the star of the landscape: Mount Aconcagua

Here I leave next departure dates but you can ask me for other days or what’s more, for a private expedition.

November 10th – December 1st – January 10th – February 12th.

As your guide, I can guarantee the best assistance during the entire trip. Besides, I know the region very well and I can make you take the best from this experience.

Don’t hesitate and contact me now. Let’s do this Andean climbing together.

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.

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.

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.
