Aconcagua is the highest peak in the southern and western hemispheres, located on the border between Argentina and Chile. It is a popular mountain for climbers who want to summit all seven summits or challenge themselves at high elevation. There are two main routes: the normal route and the 360 route. The normal route is straightforward but still challenging, taking about three weeks to complete. The 360 route is longer and less popular, but offers a more solitary and scenic experience. Climbers should be prepared for harsh weather, heavy packs, and rocky terrain. Training and acclimatization are key to success on Aconcagua.
