This is a private Aconcagua hiking experience, with the day organized around you rather than a larger group departure. You’ll hike to Confluencia with a professional mountain guide who also works on Aconcagua expeditions and summit ascents. This means your guide knows the mountain beyond the day-hiking route and can share firsthand knowledge about its camps, altitude, expedition life, and what it takes to climb the highest peak in the Americas. The journey also includes a dedicated driver separate from your mountain guide. With approximately 400 km of driving and a 13-hour day, each professional has a specific role: your guide focuses on the mountain and your driver takes care of the long journey to and from Aconcagua. Private hiking, real Aconcagua experience, and separate professionals for the mountain and the road — all organized as one full-day experience from Mendoza.

    Our guide, Pablo, was...

    Our guide, Pablo, was very attentive. He drove us from downtown to Aconcagua Park and guided us up to the Confluencia base and back. When we reached Confluencia, he prepared a delicious lunch for us. The sceneries are breathtaking and definitely worth a visit. In total, we walked 16km.

    La Montana was a great decision!

    Highly recommend La Montana guided tours. As an older solo female traveler it can be frustrating to get out to remote areas of interest. Local Mendoza bus only goes out toward Aconcagua a few times a day & takes twice as long! La Montana found a small group within my available dates with space so I didn't have to pay a single supplement. Cristina, our guide & driver, was bilingual, warm, experienced & went out of her way to include me often in the random chats throughout the day so my lack of Spanish was not an isolating barrier. I felt more connected to my fellow hikers. She slowed the pace & encouraged as needed to accommodate each persons needs, experience & comfort. One guest had mild altitude issues so we all supported & watched out for each other. At Confluencia, base camp 1, a delicious surprise lunch appeared from our guides pack! Fresh bread, cheeses, avocado, cherry tomatoes, salami, hard boiled eggs, hot tea & we all shared what trail snacks we had with each other & the other small group seated at the table. A perfect day to a goal I'd set 8 years prior! You can't go wrong with a tour booked with La Montana in Mendoza! Take it from this skeptic & fiercely independent traveler

    Fantastic ascent & descent of Confluencia

    Very well organized, informative and entertaining. Our guide Fernando was tremendous. Transferring us to Aconcagua, giving information and health tips where needed. Our lunch and snack stop was also provided by Fernando. First class guide

    Hike to Confluencia

    A great hike, friendly guide, and an overall worthwhile experience. Altitude was not a factor, and we traveled rapidly, which suited me.

    Hike to Confluencia Camp in Aconcagua: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mendoza.

    How much does Hike to Confluencia Camp in Aconcagua cost?

    +

    Prices start at $394 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mendoza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hike to Confluencia Camp in Aconcagua take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mendoza is not rushed.

    Is Hike to Confluencia Camp in Aconcagua worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mendoza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hike to Confluencia Camp in Aconcagua?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Hike to Confluencia Camp in Aconcagua suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hike to Confluencia Camp in Aconcagua?

    +

    Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mendoza can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mendoza and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hike to Confluencia Camp in Aconcagua start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mendoza within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Mendoza?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Mendoza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include High Mountain, Aconcagua and Inca Bridge, Andes High Mountain full day Tour, Horseback riding and roast in the mountains of Mendoza. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Mendoza?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Mendoza?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
