We
will ride the Aconcagua region. Here, stand the most
massive and immense mountains in America, including
its tallest peak, the Aconcagua (23 200 ft.). The
mecca of mountaineering. Riding at heights over 11 000
ft., through small trails, past fairy tales valleys
and colourful creeks… It is in these uninhabited
places, which you can only reach on horseback, where
huge herds of guanacos roam freely and the Andean
condor nests. Only in unique places like this you can
enjoy the privilege of watching them in plenitude.
This
is also a place where history was written. In 1817,
the Los Andes Army crossed through this exact same
spot. After, they moved on to liberate Chile from the
Spanish Conquistadors. We will have a glimpse of the
titanic efforts our Fathers of Independence had to
overcome.
As
the sun sets, the spectacular stars of the southern
hemisphere will cover the sky. Relax at the camp with
its peaceful atmosphere. The campfire that lightens up
the darkness as you share a cup of coffee, tea or
mate. All this creates the ideal ambiance to feel the
timeless spirit of nature and make new friends. On the
seventh day we finalize the trip rafting the River
Mendoza, the region’s best. Our
long experience guarantee an unforgettable vacation.
Hopefully, the trip of a lifetime.
