Aconcagua can be climbed without any technical experience, but should not be underestimated. General mountaineering experience is certainly needed to avoid injury or death, even on the "Normal route".

 

7summits.com offer fully serviced and guided trip up the 2 most used routes as well as an additional couple of days to acclimatize even better (EAP, or Extra Acclimatization Program, available for both routes).

 

On our normal route you will ascend slowly. Unlike other companies we will not let you move to basecamp in 2 days, but rest at Confluencia and let you do a nice trekking to the basecamp of the impressive South Face!
