Hi,
Am currently in Mendoza, organising things to climb Aconcagua. I can arrange a cheap guided tour to the summit which will cost less than USD1000, and includes:
- Excellent guide for up to 20 days
- Mules to Plaza de Mulas and return
We need to take our own food, tents, personal equipment and pay the park entry fee. We would basically save $500 by organising the food etc ourselves, but still get the benefit of a very experienced guide.
I am going to do this, but need 1-2 more people to make it work. Looking to enter the park on the 13th or 14th (before the permit prices rise)
If you may be interested call me on my Buenos Aires cellphone: 15 5597 9040
Cheers,
Warwick


I hope you have managed to find a companion by now. If not - this will "push" your ad... ;-)
BTW, what about a trip report when you are back? It's always nice to know if one would get value for money when you hire a guide for Aconcagua (that mountain has caught my attention).

I have had to delay this trip for a few days as my partner has fallen ill - if you may be interested pm me, as my cellphone has mysteriously disappeared from my hostel.
And I will share my thoughts with a trip report when I return - I have certainly bothered enough people to date with my posts!
Cheers
