High Altitude Adventures in Argentina
A geographically diverse nation, Argentina spans from the tip of the world at Tierra del Fuego with its glaciers and mountainous terrains, through the breathtaking backdrops of Patagonia, on to the gaucho-lands of the Pampas and their mouth-watering steaks, finishing with the unique and colourful landscapes of the Andean Northwest with its archaeological gems. Tucked into the foothill of the Andes, Mendoza is a gem for travelers, not only for its increasingly popular wine country, but also for the outdoor adventures that await in the surrounding areas.
With such diverse terrain, it is no wonder that outdoor adventurers list Argentina as a top destination. For those who are interested in getting a taste for themselves, Pere Vilarasau is the perfect match. Pere is a UIAGM-certified high mountain guide and instructor with over a decade of experience guiding climbs throughout Latin America. When he’s not climbing some of America’s highest peaks, Pere is an agricultural engineer taking his PHD in enology and viticulture. These qualifications make him a great contact for On The Road Travelers seeking adventure at altitude.
Pere splits his time between Bariloche and Mendoza and offers guided adventures in both. In Bariloche you can experience hut-to-hut hiking in Nahuel Huapi National Park. This trip can be extended with some rock climbing in Frey or mountain climbing at Cerro Tronador. In Mendoza, you can climb the highest summit in America, Aconcagua, or learn the basics of rock climbing at Arenales.
