ADOLFO CALLE AND STEPANEK PEAK EXPEDITION

Join us on an unforgettable trek through Cordon del Plata Provincial Park, a stunning high-altitude region rich in glaciers, rivers, tundra-like terrain, and ancient natural and cultural relics. This expedition offers a unique opportunity to explore two iconic Andean summits—Cerro Stepanek (4,194 m) and Cerro Adolfo Calle (4,272 m)—perfect for those taking their first steps into the world of mountaineering. With breathtaking views and diverse landscapes, it’s a challenge worth taking.

OUR PURPOSE.

We work so that you can live the Mons Experience on the Adolfo Calle and Stepanek Peak Expedition — an experience that offers confidence and safety, framed by a spirit of kindness and openness. Our goal is to encourage an active role in the mountains, helping each person connect with what they are capable of doing and overcoming. We make the most of every small comfort and take it to its fullest potential—so that you can let go of responsibility and enjoy the moment, knowing you’re in the hands of a prepared and dedicated team.

Days: 3
  • From July 19th to 21st, 2025
Difficulty Level: Demanding    

The timing and pace of the hikes are adapted to each group, taking into account factors such as the physical condition of all participants, so that everyone can walk together. This experience involves physical activity that doesn’t require special training, but it’s important to have a certain level of endurance and be open to mountain life in order to enjoy each day to the fullest.

On the first day, we will hike 1.5 km with a 200-meter elevation gain. On the second day, the hike will cover 10 km with a 1,000-meter elevation gain. The third day retraces the route from the first day. Participants will carry backpacks weighing approximately 5 kg. It’s important to note that comparisons with urban hikes are not appropriate.

Accommodation is provided in a mountain refuge. Due to the remote location and the challenges involved in accessing it, it’s important to note that the refuge offers limited services compared to an urban lodge. While it differs from conventional tourism and does not offer the same level of comfort, the setting we explore is of remarkable beauty, accessible only through experiences like this.
