Aconcagua or «Cerro Aconcagua» by full name, measures 6962m and is, thus, the highest peak in South America and on the entire American continent, as well as the highest mountain located outside of Asia. The name «Aconcagua» is assumedly of Indian origin; In Quechua, the language of the Inca, «Ackon Cahuak» means «Stony Sentinel» which indeed fits this stony giant of a mountain! The walk-in on this expedition is very impressive, since we travel through the picturesque Valle Vacas and the vast Horcones Valley.
