MULES

We can transport and deliver your luggage on each of the three basecamps on the days that you request.
Permanent staff will receive your luggage and store it safely until you arrive.
When you are descending back to a basecamp from your summit attempt, you can use a radio to reserve your mules for the return journey to Penitentes.
Each mule can transport a maximum weight of 60 kg. Because of this, we ask you to pack no more than 30 kilograms in one bag; we need to balance the charges with this maximum weight.

Additionally, when you hire the mule service to transport your gear to one of the basecamps the following items are included too:

Load deposited at Penitentes and Plaza de Mulas. (We don’t provide this service at Plaza Argentina).
Group transportation from your lodging area (Penitentes) to the starting point of your trek on the two different approaching routes, Horcones or Punta de Vacas Valley
The right to use the toilets in our basecamps
We agree to transport your trash and human waste down from the basecamp to Penitentes for disposal. Our staff in the base camps will sign your climbing permit to give proof that our company will be responsible for your garbage.

PORTERS

Don’t let pride get in your way on your expedition.
When the goal is to climb the highest mountain in the Americas, this single decision can make the most significant difference.
If you have concerns regarding your adaptation to the altitude, or you want to climb the mountain with less weight on your backpack, the help provided by porters will be a significant advantage.
The altitude effect in Aconcagua is powerful. Each gram less on your shoulders is an invaluable aid.
And climbing lighter helps you maintain your energy focused on the Summit day.

WHAT IS A PORTER SERVICE

Porter Service refers to the transportation of gear to the different high camps to reduce the amount of weight you must carry each day on the mountain.
At each basecamp Plaza de Mulas and Plaza Argentina, we maintain a staff of high altitude porters.
There is a clearly defined porter system where loads are priced by which altitude camp the porter is carrying to and the weight of the load.

Based on the weight of the load we offer two kinds of porter services:

From 01 to 10 kilograms = Half porter
From 11 to 20 kilograms = Full porter

Usually, these are the altitude camps where porters carry:

Plaza de Mulas – Normal Route

Plaza Canada
Nido de Cóndores
Cólera

Plaza Argentina – Polish Traverse Route

Camp 1
Camp 2
Camp 3 (Cólera)
