Amazing Aconcagua



Among the many natural beauties that Argentina has and which are visited by thousands of tourists each year is the Cerro Aconcagua.



The Cerro Aconcagua is the highest peak in Argentina and the highest in America and the world outside Asia. The mountain rises to 6962 meters in height and is located in the Province of Mendoza in west-central Argentina, and is part of the Andes. North and east it borders the Valle de las Vacas and west and south by the lower Valley of Horcones . It is truly an amazing and wonderful place, several glaciers traverse its slopes, the most important being the northeast or Polish Glacier and the eastern or English. The Cerro Aconcagua is located within the Aconcagua Provincial Park and is a very popular among mountain climbers from around the world, with an entry from 6000 to 7000 visitors per season, which runs between December and March. Thousands of fans visit the Aconcagua mountain each year, according to experts the north face of Aconcagua is technically simple, and you can climb through the "normal way" in the northwest, which is not necessary to use technical climbing . The second track is much more risky, that it is the Polish Glacier. This approaches the mountain through the Vacas valley, ascends to the base of the Glacier and crosses the normal to the final climb to the summit. The routes from the ridge to the south and southwest are the toughest, considering the South as the most difficult.

Is only to say that the Aconcagua is a great natural wonders of Argentina and that is that really worth a visit.
