THE ANDES & PATAGONIA
South America’s great ranges couldn’t be more different from one another — the thin air and sheer scale of the Andes’ highest peak, and the wild, weather-beaten volcanoes and glaciers of Patagonia further south. Together they open up a whole new kind of expedition for our clients, run in partnership with trusted local guides on the ground.
Aconcagua
(13 days + contingency day)
An ascent of the highest peak in the Americas, at 6,961m. A serious high-altitude expedition, led by our lead guide Luciana Marun, built around careful acclimatisation and a genuine summit push.
Volcano Lanín & Mount Tronador Expedition
(7 days)
Our flagship Patagonia trip, combining an ascent of the near-perfect volcanic cone of Lanín with an attempt on the glaciated slopes of Mount Tronador. Run with our local partner, Patagonia Alpine Guides.
Not sure where to start?
Looking for the biggest physical and altitude challenge on our books? Aconcagua is the objective — the highest summit outside Asia, demanding serious preparation and patience with acclimatisation. Want a shorter expedition into genuinely wild, remote terrain, blending a volcanic summit with glacier travel? The Volcano Lanín & Mount Tronador Expedition is the trip for you.
A note on weather and conditions
Both the high Andes and Patagonia are known for fast-changing, powerful weather systems. As with all our expeditions, summit attempts are weather and condition dependent, and the final say on safety always rests with your guides on the ground.
