MOUNT VALLECITOS EXPEDITION

On this expedition to Cerro Vallecitos, we will climb one of Argentina’s well-known high mountains, standing at 5,468 meters above sea level. Located in the Andes of Mendoza, this mountain is perfect for those looking for a high-altitude experience and time in nature.

The expedition takes place in Cordón del Plata Provincial Park, an area known for its natural beauty. You’ll see glaciers, frozen tundra-like soils, clear rivers, winding streams, and a variety of Andean plants and animals.

This trip is more than a physical challenge — it’s a chance to connect with the mountain environment. Along the way, you’ll enjoy stunning views of the Cordón del Plata range, with snowy peaks and wide-open skies.

Our goal is to reach the summit of Cerro Vallecitos. It’s a great next step for anyone interested in mountaineering. The expedition is led by professional guides who ensure safety and respect for nature.

OUR PURPOSE.

We work so that you can live the Mons Experience on the Mount Vallecitos 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.
