Ascending Walther Penck Volcano presents low technical difficulty, but it is demanding, as it requires considerable physical strength when performing activities in remote regions at high altitudes.
The mountain range is quite inaccessible, so several days of travel are required. Climbing this volcano requires acclimatization, and depending on weather conditions, at least ten days should be allowed to reach the summit.
Argentina Trails stands out for having more than 18 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.
