*: Almost full, please inquire first! (Striked dates means they are already full!)
(See detailed info about starting and departure dates, as well as extra days/early arrival lower on this page.)
Note that the technical Polish Glacier (the iceclimb) is only offered as a
private climb for max 3 climbers per guide, see below.
The above are
fixed
dates,
but
we
can
organize
private
groups
as
well,
see
below.
Then you can choose your own departure dates and length can be adjusted where
needed. If
your
party
is
large
enough,
it
might
even
be
cheaper!
The prices below are indicative, and might be adjusted to fully take your wishes and luxury level into account (adding services, days, Hotelnights etc).
II:
Private
groups:
flexible
departure
dates:
All prices in USD and subject to change, though once booked you will never pay for price increases.
*The Polish Traverse for private groups now also includes a roundtrip around Aconcagua: Up the Polish Traverse, down the Normal route!
Contact us for your private bookingform. Note that the Normal Route for private groups is 18 days, the Polish Traverse route for private groups is 19 days. Both routes on group departures (fixed dates above) are 18 days.
Private porters:
Though group gear (tents, food etc) will be carried for you on the Normal route, you are expected to carry your own gear, snacks etc. You can hire a porter to bring (part of) your luggage up and/or down:
Approximate prices for a personal porter, carrying max 20kgs each are:
Polish Glacier Traverse route
From Plaza Argentina to Camp 1: U$D 250
From Camp 1 to Camp 2: U$D 350
From Camp 2 to Plaza Argentina: U$D 350
Normal route
From Plaza de Mulas to Canada: U$D 145
From Canada to Nido de Condores: U$D 220
From Nido de Condores to Berlin: U$D 270
From Berlin to Plaza de Mulas: U$D 270
(prices fluctuate, please confirm with booking)
Extra Acclimatisation Program (EAP):
Note that the standard programs might be too fast for some people. If you acclimatise slowly, then you can book the Extra Acclimatisation Program, in which you start 3 days before the main group (basically a private trip). This gives you extra time to acclimatise in Basecamp (3 extra nights including a training ascent), where the rest meets you.
Costs depend on EAP group size. Even if you book alone, if others book the same EAP, you will get the discount!
1 climber only: $495 per person (Normal route or Traverse).
2 Climbers per person: $295 pp
3-4 Climbers per person: $235pp
5-7 Climbers per person: $195pp
8-9 Climbers, per person: $175
10-12 climbers, per person: $145
Note that if there are less than 4 passengers in the EAP group, the transportation from Mendoza to Puente del Inca will be in the regular bus.

Extra days, and arrival and departure dates:
See below for more details about the starting and end dates, so you can plan your trip better. It might be wise to arrive a day earlier in Mendoza: it is a very nice city, there are many things to see and do, you can shop for snacks and mountain gear and it will take a lot of stress off when your flight or luggage is delayed (which is very possible as many climbers take many connections).
We can book you in the same 4**** hotel you will be staying in as part of our program (prices probably $120 per room per night, single or double), or you can book a cheaper hotel online (there are many hostels and Hotels and most can be found and booked online).

Note that the standard programs might be too fast for some people. If you acclimatise slowly, then you can book the Extra Acclimatisation Program, in which you start 3 days before the main group (basically a private trip).
