ACCLIMATIZATION PROGRAMS

 E.A.P. OPTION (Extended Acclimatization Program)

 
The acclimatization is a dynamic process, and during this process the body needs activity to increase its hability to response.
 
The option we offer to all those people who wants to be surer of their acclimatization, consists in arriving to Mendoza two days before the starting of the expedition. After one night in Mendoza, you will move to Puente del Inca, and Puente del Inca hostel will be our activity centre. Everyday you will make different treks in the area with our guides, and it will help you to turn on all the biological mechanisms of your body, having better chances to get the Aconcagua summit.
