MOUNT BONETE
Are you ready to live the most impressive and unforgettable adventure of your life?
Mount Bonete is the fourth highest mountain in the Andes (6,760 meters above sea level), surpassed only by Aconcagua, Ojos del Salado, and Pissis. It is located in the province of La Rioja. It is one of the highest inactive volcanoes in the world. To the south, the mountain is bordered by Laguna Brava, along whose shores the Pircas Negras International Pass, linking Argentina with Chile, has been built.
This route is characterized not only by archaeological remains but also by several shelters built in the middle of the 19th century.
We operate high mountain expeditions of different durations, specially designed and planned according to the needs of each mountaineer, contemplating acclimatization times and the required security.

#ExperienceTheMountainLife
The climb to Cerro Bonete presents low technical difficulty, however, it is very demanding, as it requires considerable physical effort, as it involves activities in remote regions and at high altitudes. The mountain range is quite inaccessible, so several days of hiking are required. A climb to Bonete requires acclimatization and, depending on weather conditions, it should take at least ten days to reach the summit.
Argentina Trails stands out for having more than 17 years of experience operating expeditions on this mountain and others around the region, where our qualified and certified guides will offer you a high quality experience, providing security and support.
We prioritize the safety of our clients, so we count with experience and the best infrastructure, first aid kits, satellite communication systems and mountain equipment suited to the requirements of each expedition. We take care of every detail so that you can make the most of each expedition safely.
Our expeditions are focused on the client. That is why we design each one according to the needs of each mountaineer, planning an appropiate acclimatization.
