Cerro Aconcagua
Cerro Aconcagua is often called the 'roof of the Americas.' The volcanic summit of Aconcagua covers a base of uplifted marine sediments. Reaching the summit requires a commitment of at least 13 to 15 days, including acclimatization time; some climbers prefer the longer but more scenic, less crowded and more technical Polish Glacier Route. Potential climbers should acquire RJ Secor's climbing guide Aconcagua (Seattle, The Mountaineers, 1999).
The web page www.aconcagua.com.ar is also helpful. Remember you will need to purchase a permit and entrance into the park.
