Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Andes and the Americas, is a top goal for mountaineers as one of the Seven Summits. Its name has multiple origins: the Aymara Kon-Kawa ("Snowy Mountain"), the Chilean Araucanians’ Aconca-Hue ("coming from the other side"), and the Quechua Akon-Kahuak ("Stone Sentinel").

Located in Mendoza, Argentina, near Chile’s border, Aconcagua dominates the Aconcagua Provincial Park in the Andes Secos region. It has two summits: the North Summit, the most climbed, and the South Summit, a highly technical ascent.

Known as the "Roof of America," it is surrounded by the stunning Quebrada Horcones and Quebrada de Vacas canyons, adding to its breathtaking allure.

Hi, I'm Pablo. I was born in Huaraz at the foot of the Cordillera Blanca mountain range. I studied systems engineering and at the same time I practiced trekking on my own, after finishing my engineering career I decided to study for Official Tourist Guide and later I took a specialization course in mountaineering authorized by the Peruvian Government. During my beginnings in mountaineering I climbed important mountains such as: Huascaran, Alpamayo, Artesonraju, Chopicalqui, Ranrapalca, Tocllaraju and the classic 5 thousand mountains. I traveled to Ecuador where I climbed all the volcanoes such as: Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, Ilinizas, Cayambe, as well as Obispo Peak, the most challenging and technical mountain in Ecuador. In 2019 I climbed Aconcagua and now I lead expeditions annually. Mountaineering is my passion and work in this beautiful world.
