Anyone headed for Aconcagua this season?

Post by Scott P »

Is anyone going to Aconcagua this season or going to be in Mendoza for any other reason? I was hoping to get some maps of the Cordon del Plata and other areas but haven’t had any luck ordering online. Supposedly the maps are readily available in Mendoza though. Of course I would pay for them either by cash or I can trade some really nice waterproof maps of Aconcagua.

I’m not going until more than a year from now, so it could be anytime someone will be there this upcoming season.

Any help is appreciated. 😊

Just throwing my name out there in this thread that I would love to join a team for a self-guided Aconcagua expedition in 2023/2024.

I’m going on a guided trip up Aconcagua the end of December, beginning of January. If I have any spare time while in Mendoza, I’ll see what I can find. Outside of ‘Cordon del Plata’, do you have any other specific areas you need?
Century Bound, eventually.

It's on my shortlist for 2024.

Hi Scott, I got you a topographic map for the cordon del plata (and the macizo de la jaula).

Awesome! Sorry I didn't get back earlier. I'm leaving the country in a few hours, but will PM you.

Thanks!
