E.A.I. proposes the following mountains to prepare for the "real" adventure climb: Iliniza North at (5,125m/16,810ft) and Cotopaxi volcano peak (5,897mt. The volcanoes of Ecuador are well known among climbers.

Cotopaxi Mountain Volcano is located Southeast from Quito on the central ridge of the Andes; Cotopaxi is the Ecuador's second highest peak. Cotopaxi Volcano is protecting for other small mountain like Rumiñahui other volcano peak how is good for acclimatization too on the West side from Cotopaxi, Sincholagua extinct volcano too on the North side of the Cotopaxi and Quilindaña rack peak how is on the Est para of the Cotopaxi, also this mountains is a particular because his rack composition is not Volcanic, looks like granitic rack hoe are very good for practice a climbing over the safe rack until to real the his summit.

Cotopaxi is very famous for his structure a perfect volcanic cone with perpetual glacier how live for millions year covered all the his structure volcanic covered the Snow Crevasses and Ice too, That to make to this mountain peak a very special to visit and climbing the most people how what to climbing even they don’t have any experiences on alpinism, but, the most people like to reach his crater summit, Cotopaxi volcano Is the very popular peak in Ecuador.

Our expedition to the highest mountain in Ecuador during the 12-days Itinerary, follows a through acclimatization program and glacier skills training, including climbing activity and a variety of technical equipment in a natural mountaineering environment.

DAY 13

HOSTERIA PUENTE DEL INCA RESTING FULL DAY. SWIMMING AT THE THERMAL POOL. CHECK IN ON THE ORNOES GUARDA PARQUES

Hosteria Puente del Inca was built in 1925, at the time a luxury place available only for the most important personalities. On the way to Las Cuevas (the border with Chile) you can enjoy this curious geological formation at one of the most famous hot springs resorts of Argentina. Bathing in these waters is recommended for many different conditions, and added to the uniqueness of this natural monument and surrounding landscapes, Puente del Inca is a unique place, located on the Cordillera de Los Andes, 2800 meters above the sea, Puente del Inca is famous for its natural bridge, declared a Natural Monument, and unique geological features. The bridge has been formed by the action of mineral waters. The river flow is pushed through sediments deposited at the bottom and then hardened by the hot springs. This gives the area it's colors of oranges, yellows and ochres. The history of the bridge begins with the Inca Trail and their legends. It is assumed that it was known and frequented by this culture to harness the waters healing properties. Its fame is mainly due to its thermal baths. There are buildings on the side and under the bridge with small pools where the water forms hot springs, which come from natural springs. In the morning you can go to swim, take a small hike, etc. You can feel free resting half a day, or you have time to check your personal climbing gear. After lunch, around 2:00 P.M., our tour leader meets you to prepare everything for the next big day. All members of the group go up to the Horcones entrance with your permits to CHECK IN, because the next day we can begin to hike at 7:00 A.M. from the Horcones control gate. From Hosteria Puente del Inca to Horcones is 3km. We can hike or drive there, and come back to the hosteria the same way. Immediately, we'll sort out our bags for the mules, as these will be taken early the next morning and delivered to Plaza de Mulas, our next stopping point at base camp. We end the day with dinner and head to bed.
DAY 14

PUENTE DEL INCA - HORCONES - CONFLUENCIAS - PLAZA DE MULAS

We get up for breakfast at 6:15 A.M. We catch a private car from Hosteria Puente del Inca to the Horcones Guarda Parques entrance, where we already checked in the day before. This day we begin our approach to Aconcagua. Mules will carry all of our expedition food and equipment, enabling us to enjoy this spectacular day hike with a light day pack. The trail follows the Horcones River to the junction of the Lower and the Upper Horcones River. After crossing the Lower Horcones on a footbridge, we continue up the river valley towards Confluencia, 3,400m (11,155ft), where we'll pass this intermediate camp. From Horcones to Confluencia we'll hike about 2 and a half hours. In Confluencia we have an hour to rest, drink a hot café, then continue our long route. While other climbers spend three nights at Confluencia in order to adequately acclimatize for climbing Aconcagua, EAI groups arrive here with very good acclimatization from Ecuador after climbing Mt. Volcano Cotopaxi at 5,897m (19,347ft). This is a tough day - taking about 11-12 hours to reach the base camp Plaza de Mulas. We start relatively early at 7:00 A.M., armed with no less than 4 liters of water per person, as the valley that stretches ahead is hot and dusty, even though a river runs across the wide plain of the valley floor. After 4 hours walking along a very gentle rise, and avoiding river crossing, if possible, in order to keep our boots dry, the valley splits, and the route swings to the right (north). Here, we rest for lunch and prepare for the sudden rise in altitude that will accompany the afternoon's stroll. The path rises steeply to complete the hardest day of the expedition, so far. By the time we land in Plaza de Mulas, we will have climbed nearly 1,481 meters during the day. We settle into our base camp tents at Plaza de Mulas base camp 4,200m (13,779ft), and get to know the local staff, who will support us from this point on.
DAY 15

AFTER THE LONG JOURNEY WE HAD THE DAY BEFORE, YOU NEED TO RECOVER ALL THE ENERGY (RESTING FULL DAY)

Today is just for resting the full day and recovering our energy at the new altitude on Aconcagua, at Plaza de Mulas base camp at 4,200m (13,779ft). A day off allows everyone to readjust and to get ready for the ongoing climb upwards. EAI will supply you with breakfast, lunch and dinner every day we are in the base camp. Hot drinks will be provided regularly as well as water. In the afternoon the expedition leader will prepare a list of what to take. At the same time, equipment will be prepared for the local porters to carry, which ensures you will only have to carry your own personal equipment, with all the group’s stores and food being taken by the porters who support the team. We'll spend the night at base camp Plaza de Mulas.
DAY 16

Hike to Camp 1 Nido de Condores at (5,559m/17,100ft)

After breakfast, we leave the base camp Plaza de Mulas at 9:30 A.M. We take our food and gear to leave at Nido de Condores Camp and prepare the logistics at Camp 1 for the next day's expedition on the very high altitude before attempting the summit. Today we carry gear up towards Camp 1, 5,559m (17,100ft). From our base camp in Plaza de Mulas, we follow the trail as it gradually suitcase from steep screen slopes to the rock spires that mark Canada Camp at 5,000m (16,500ft). We pass Canada Camp and head up to Nido de Condores, our next camp 1. This usually takes 5-6 hours. We set up the tents and you'll have time to take great photos. If the weather conditions are good, you can see the sun set like in the ocean. We have dinner at high altitude and stay overnight at Nido de Condores to measure our acclimatization before going to our next high camp 2 Colera at 5,890m (19,437ft)
DAY 17

Breakfast at Nido de Condores

Hike down to base camp Plaza de Mulas. Today is just to measure how our body is acclimitizing after we spent the night at high altitude. Around 11:00 A.M. we can move down to Plaza de Mulas for a resting afternoon and to recover our energy. We'll stay overnight at base camp Plaza de Mulas.
DAY 18

Plaza de Mulas – Nido de Condores – Camp 2 Colera - 8 hours hike up

After breakfast we can move out at 9:00 A.M. to arrive at our Camp 2 COLERA, which is a bit higher than Berlin camp. Colera camp is located at 5,970m (19,569ft), 40 meters higher than Berlin Camp. Today we can make our first foray onto the mountain; from Plaza de Mulas to Colera we climb 1,600m (5,249ft). In the first 3 hours of climbing we pass Canada Camp, continue our climbing, we pass slope changes and from here we take another hour to arrive at Nido de Condores. We rest a short time her to eat and drink then continue our climb for another 3 hours. We follow the head trail up through the same route to Berlin camp towards many switchbacks, here you hike more slowly, you may feel low oxygen as well. From Berlin Camp, we cross just the last traversed part. After climbing a nice rimaya rack we get to the Colera Camp, where our tents are ready, for spending the afternoon resting. This is a really useful day, and past experience has shown that by sleeping on the mountain at high altitude, our acclimatization will be given a huge boost that will enable us to tackle the mountain with more energy and less difficulty. We have dinner and spend the night at Camp 2 Colera at 5,970m (19,569ft). 
The EAI Leader checks the weather every day with the park authority by radio. If the weather conditions are confirmed by Aconcagua Park, the next day we can move up to make the Aconcagua Summit. If so, we can prepare all the personal gear in the afternoon for the next morning's climb.
DAY 19

Summit attempt to Acocncagua

We wake up at 4:00 A.M. to check the weather for the day. If the EAI leader and guides agree to go, then everyone needs to get ready for the big day. After breakfast, we should start no later than 5:00 A.M. From Colera camp, we begin climbing up the regular switchbacks, after 45 minutes we can meet the way coming from the Berlin camp. Here we may join many other climbers. Around 6:15 A.M. the sunrise brings a very magnificent view of the Andes. Continuing up at a slow hike, after many other switchbacks we come to another hut (Independencia camp) at 6,377m (20,921). From here, the route crosses the side of the mountain over screens to break out at the start of the traverse that leads to the foot of a large gully, leading down from the Summit Ridge. Sometimes from Independencia we need to put on our crampons, the entire route is packed with snow. After crossing the side, immediately we hike on the traverse and come to a rock that looks like a gendarme. This rock is the sentinel that watches the traverse and the beginning of the canaleta as well. After crossing the sentinel, we climb for long time up. This is the Canaleta, which is the most strenuous climbing. Eventually it leads to the Summit Ridge and amazing views straight down the south face of Aconcagua. A 35-minute traverse leads across rocky ground and a well-defined path to a short scramble immediately below the top. This lead, without difficulty, to the final steps that lead to the small summit plateau. Here, a cross marks the highest point in the western and southern hemispheres. Between Nido de Condores to Aconcagua Summit, we climb 1,399m. We take around 8-9 hours climbing up and 4-5 hours climbing down. After we reaching the summit take us a big hug to celebrating the ascent and taking many photographs for the souvenirs, after same rest we descent for the same using the normal route passing the Independencia Camp again to arrive at Colera, where our tents are here we have dinner and spend the last night in the high altitude.
DAY 20

Second day to summit attempt

This day is scheduled for resting only and preparing for our next long summit day push. We spend the day at Colera Camp 2. For EAI groups this is a Summit Bid Day. We have two days to reach the summit. This gives us spare time in case of bad weather, but the summit will be attempted on the first day if possible. With an early start, the summit is attainable in about 8 hours. 


Two summit days have been scheduled into the itinerary in case of bad weather in any part of the climb. In addition, day 18-19 can also be used as an alternate summit day if climbers require.
DAY 21

Last night on the Andes Mountain

This day, we'll wake up tired but elated. Unlike the previous day, we can afford to let the sunlight bathe and warm our tents before we get up for breakfast. However, once up, it will be a race to get ready and to make a rapid descent down to base camp, where the staff will be waiting to share the excitement of our ascent. We should all have returned to base camp by mid-afternoon at the latest, which will give us plenty of time for a shower, relaxing and preparing our bags for the walkout. Our final lunch and dinner will be special and no doubt accompanied by beer and wine to have a nice celebration. 
We spend the last night at Plaza de Mulas.
DAY 22

Resting full day at Plaza de Mulas

After the summit day we have a full day to rest at Plaza de Mulas, recovering our full energy for the next day hiking back down.
DAY 23

Exit National Park and return to Mendoza

Today is a long day's trek all the way down the Horcones Valley to the National Park entrance. We will need to start early today (no later than 9:00 A.M., if possible) in order to make the journey all the way back to Mendoza. The walk will take about 8 hours, with little time to linger over lunch. After arriving back at the gate, at about 4:00 P.M., we then have a 4-hour drive back to town, where we would expect to be back in the hotel in time for a quick turnaround and shower before having dinner at a restaurant at about 9:00 P.M., along with our local guides to celebrate our expedition. (Which is when the locals go out to eat anyway.) At RESTAURANTE FRANCIS, you'll enjoy very good Argentinean cuisine.
DAY 24

Fly from Mendoza to Buenos Aires or Santiago de Chile Back to home

Today, we fly from Mendoza to Buenos Aires to an hotel right at the center of the city. This gives very quick access to the main shopping areas. Buenos Aires in Argentina and Santiago de Chile in Chile are the largest cities in South America and the largest Spanish-speaking cities in the world. According to peoples' wishes, the leader can arrange a city sightseeing tour or a guided visit to a local ecological reserve. After a full day, in the early evening, we leave to the airport to catch our flights back home. (If your flight is not too early.)
