Overland & treks
Programs in 4x4 trucks and hikes or treks on the way
Are those programs where we use the vehicles to move over the different touristic regions and making hikes or treks on the way. It’s a combination of touring and mountaineering in different levels. The advantage of this option is you can visit the most important places of each region in combination with active tourism.
These circuits are:
Mountaineering
Mountain ascent programs
We classify in 3 groups this activities, according with the level above the sea where the treks are done.
Excursionist are those programs around 3.500 m.a.s.l. where we don't have any technical difficulty but it's necessary a good physical condition to walk and average of 5 or 6 hours. Usually are daily trips and without big load the backpacks.
Medium Mountains are expeditions with 2 or more days where we will can trek below 5 thousand meters abobe sea level and in this case, we need to bring heavy backpacks with personal gear and sometimes part of the camp equipment if is not possible to get animals for cargo. Previous experience is necessary in this kind of programs.
High Mountains are pure mountaineering up to 5.000 mts. above sea level where the physical condition and experience is the more important thing. The acclimatisation process it's think in a previous treks before the main objective. We don't use technical ways to get the summits and the example it's the Socompa volcano expedition (6.050 mts.) but we can offer also: LLullaillaco, Quewar, Cachi, Aracar and Tuzgle.
