Hike to Confluencia - A great hike, friendly guide, and an overall worthwhile experience. Altitude was not a factor, and we traveled rapidly, which suited me.

Trek to Confluencia - I had always wanted to see Aconcagua. Cristina was a superb guide: knowledgeable, informative and a great companion in the mountains for a solo traveller. She set just the right pace for me at my age and we reached Confluencia after 3 hours. At the camp, Cristina pulled out of her rucksack an incredible lunch: boiled eggs, fresh bread, salami, cheese and, can you believe it, an avocado and a cup of tea. Wow! It took 2.5 hours to get back down and we then drove back to Mendoza. The weather was glorious. A wonderful experience and grateful thanks to Cristina for making it so enjoyable.

Great tour to get out of Mendoza wine tourism - it went really well! that tiredness that makes you happy! 30 thousand steps, almost 800m of elevation counting ups and downs along the way (16km round trip). beautiful photos and the guide (ferney)/driver who were very kind. For those unaware, remember that it takes 3 hours there and 3 hours back by car to leave the trek! So we left at 7:30 and arrived at 8 at night! incredible trip. Just a tip for the agency that a car like the Chronos (simple sedan) with 3 large adults in the back gets complicated on a long car trip. Be prepared for a lot of wind and dust. Use sunscreen and bring plenty of water (a 1.5l bottle/person works well). We didn't use waterproof shoes, we didn't need them and they are lighter and more comfortable.

Unforgettable - An unforgettable experience! Without a doubt it is a trekking with a certain level of demand but it was possible! Mauricio, the guide, respected everyone's time and took care of us the entire way. The park is beautiful, the path is impressive and when after several hours of hiking uphill we arrived at the camp it was an incredible moment, a beautiful memory to end the year. We ate a very delicious snack, rested for a while and headed back to be at the park gate at 6:00 p.m. I would do it again and I highly recommend the Destino Montaña team.

Professional and human treatment. - The company Destino Montaña is excellent, both Joaquín who explains all the details, and Vanina, who was the guide and is a genius. I had my doubts about whether I would be able to reach Confluencia because it is a physically demanding trek, but with Vanina's guidance and trust I was able to achieve the goal. And all of that was a great satisfaction, achieving something very important for me, which is reaching the first base camp of Aconcagua, and the warm and human treatment of this company. I had already done a Trek in Cordon del Plata with them, I chose them again and if I decide to do another more demanding Trek I will clearly choose them again.

Awesome Tour! Highly recommended! - My friend and I had an amazing experience on the Aconcagua. Our guide Zaira is a professional mountaineer and truly loves her job and the national park. She provided interesting information about the nature and her good mood and energetic character made the trekking to Confluencia an awesome adventure. The lunch prepeard by the head of the company (Joaquin) was besides the nature one of the highlights of the tour. I definitely would recommend doing the tour with this company!
