Overview

The ascent to the Mount El Plata is an ideal option for those who are ready to conquer their first six-thousand-meter peak. This top is one of the highest mountains in the Central Andes and the highest in the “Cordón del Plata” mountain range.

This climbing will be great experience of the high altitude mountaineering. You may also chose this ascent as an acclimatization hike before attempting the Mount Aconcagua.

You will admire a lot of picturesque tops of the Andes: Tupungato together with the majestic Cerro Polleras (5993m) and the black Cerro Negro/Cerro Pabellon (6070m). Also Aconcagua, Ameghino, and La Mano are located quite close by the Mount El Plata, to the north-west, and further away to the north, on clear days, you may see the snowy peaks of the Mercedario Group.

It's important to know

During your expedition to Aconcagua, you will encounter a very wide range of temperatures and weather conditions. At one end of this range is the pleasantly warm and beautiful City of Mendoza, while at the other end of the spectrum is found the cold and often windy weather on the summit of Aconcagua.

The equipment you bring must function well in a wide variety of conditions. Your clothing should be warm, lightweight, dry quickly, and allow good freedom of movement. Adhere to the layering principle: several thin layers of insulation (rather than one thick one).

We will send you detailed list of expedition climbing gear after booking.
