It‘s name translates from the Quechua word «Akon-Kahuak», which means Stone Sentinel.
The mountain lives up to this reputation, as it rises above the heart of the Andes on the border
between Chile and Argentina, and is included in the «Seven Summits» circuit, made up of the
highest peaks on each continent. The surrounding lowlands rise up to 13,100 ft. and are home
to beautiful desert landscapes that include a wide range of flora and fauna. Our experience
climbing Aconcagua and guiding this mountain provides novice and experienced climbers
an excellent opportunity for a successful expedition.
