A.P. 6 (Dec. 27, 2022 – Jan. 7, 2023)

We are very excited to announce that our 6th expedition of this season crowned Aconcagua’s summit today with the entire team to the top!

We are also proud to announce that Mathias Zurbriggen’s great-great-grandson was a part of this team!

Mathias Zurbriggen accomplished the first ascent of Aconcagua in 1897!

Conditions have not been easy this season with several storms and occasional windows.

Aventuras Patagonicas has managed to get ALL TEAMS to the TOP safely this season.

We have Team 7 and Team 8 departing January 7th for another great adventure!
