Well organized and great tour guide! - Very easy to coordinate with a smooth pickup/dropoff. Our guide, Gabriel, was excellent - spoke both English and Spanish very well. He was very informative and matched our pace on the mountain. Hike itself was beautiful. Would definitely recommend Andes Vertical and Gabriel specifically.

Excellent - Pablo was a fantastic guide. He went at a pace that was comfortable for me. This was a tour that I have been planning for years. So glad I was able to complete the trek

A wonderful time at Aconcagua - This was a great experience - I highly recommend it to anybody who wants to see Aconcagua. Augustin was a great guide and very friendly. It was a lot of fun to drink mate during the drive to the park and watch the scenery change. The hike was beautiful and well worth the trip!

Fantastic day out - An Excellent day out hiking with stunning views and a fantastic guide. Could not have been better. Thank you

Excellent day trip - We enjoyed an excellent trek with Pablo, our guide. He was knowledgeable, took great care of us and found ways for us to gain an Aconcagua experience, even with the basecamp closed - we went as far as we could and then went to Quebrada de Matienzo. The office team were also been very helpful, communicating clearly and giving us good options. Recommended!!

Awesome hike! - Great day trip to Aconcagua. Tim was our guide and he picked us up on time and we headed out to the mountain. He stopped for us along the way to buy sandwiches for lunch after we reached the base camp (lunch is not included). Beautiful scenic ride and he stopped several places for us to take pictures. The hike was about 2.5 hours to the base camp. Moderate to difficult is a correct rating since it is very sandy for stretches of the hike, tiring me out much more than I expected. Definitely choose a sunny day so you can fully appreciate the views! Recommend for outdoorsy people who want a challenge!

Here we come, Base Camp! - 4 if use joined a group of 10, plus 2 guides, for a ride from Mendoza, to the park, to hike to the Base Camp, for Mt. Aconcagua. The Guides were professional and knowledgeable. There was some adjusting to the elevation, as we went from 2500 ft in Mendoza, to a starting point of 9000+ feet within a couple of hours of driving. Take it slow and easy, and just breathe...everything will be just fine. Its a long day, around 12+ hours, with drive time to/from Mendoza but totally worth it.

Aconcagua day trip - Really enjoyed this overall. Our guide Sebastian was a good chap, not the most forthcoming with info but knowledgeable when asked. Did about 3 hours hike each way to Aconcagua and back. Great views throughout. Lunch wasn't great but did the job. A bit overpriced tbh but would still recommend

A great option, under the right circumstances. - I'll start by saying our guide and driver were great. There were three things I'll call out and were not clear: 1. Part of the description leads you to believe lunch is included. It is NOT. This is clear in the "what's included" section. Viator needs to fix the description. We got confused because of the conflicting information. Our driver stopped in Upsallata and we grabbed lunch there, so no big deal. Just know lunch is not included. 2. We had arranged for a 7:20 pickup time. Turns out we did not get picked up until 8:00. The operator decided last minute on a later start. I would have liked to have known that so we didn't get up at 6:00 am! I suggest you check in with operator the day before and confirm the pickup time to avoid this situation. 3. We did not get to go all the way to basecamp as advertised - only about halfway (1 hour hike each direction). This was because basecamp does not open until Nov 15. I do not know the dates between which you can do full hike and partial hike, but this should be made clear in the listing. If you really want the six hour hike to basecamp (3 hours out and 3 back), make certain you confirm the situation with the tour operator prior to finalizing your booking. I don't want above to make it sound like we hated the trip. Aconcagua is a bucket list item of mine and I was very happy with the experience. I just wish these three things had been dealt with differently. It was a very enjoyable hike and a great experience. Also, at least for the part we trekked, it was easy going. If you are in reasonable shape, you will not have a problem. It was basically a gravel trail. You are at around 4,500 meters (14,000 feet), so if you are not reasonably fit, the altitude may get to you. But, contrary to other posts, I would not consider this a difficult trail. One last thing, and this really has little to do with the tour, but I think it is important to mention. We took the bus from Santiago to Mendoza (8 hour bus ride). Then, the next day, we drove about 3 hours back over the same route back to the park - almost all the way back to the Christ the Redeemer tunnel. Then, the following day, we took a driver back to Santiago over the same route again. It was a total of about 22 hours of driving over three days. Just realize all the driving you will do if you do that. I wanted to go through the tunnel and I also wanted to go up over the pass, which is why we drove both ways as opposed to flying. Unfortunately, the pass was closed so that was a bust. Anyway, the point is knowing what I know now, I would have somehow planned this differently, although right now I'm not sure how. Just be prepared for a lot of driving if you try to do what I did. You may want to spend a night in Upsallata if you want to do this trek and avoid some of the driving.

a destroyed once-in-a-life-time chance to do a trekking at Aconcagua mt. - We waited 2 hrs for pick up and ended up with No tour at all. According to the local tour operator (Andes Verticales) they never have received any reservation, booking or information from Viator for our tour. We ve booked this expensive tour to enjoy this once-in-a-life-time experience. Now we have to fight to geg pur Money back So paying back the money is not enough to compensate the lost holiday day and this once-in-a-life-time experience. to do a trekking at Aconcagua mt.
