Aconcagua (6962m / 22,840ft) is the highest peak in the Andes (in fact the highest in the Americas or anywhere in the world outside the Himalayas) and is found in central Argentina near Mendoza. A mecca for mountaineering as a result, the area contains spectacular mountain scenery, not only around Aconcagua itself but throughout the whole central Andean Cordillera. Notable regions include the Calingasta Valley in neighbouring San Juan province and the great rock canyon of Talampaya National Park in La Rioja province.
High quality photographic prints of Argentina with a wide choice of framing options, canvas wrap prints and greeting cards are available. Please visit the Framed Prints page for more details. If you would like a print of any photograph that is not in the gallery please contact James Brunker at magicalandesphotos@yahoo.com A high resolution version of the desired image can easily be uploaded for you.

Plaza de Mulas Base Camp
By far the most popular approach to the summit of Aconcagua is the northern route - Plaza de Mulas is the first base camp along this route. The sheer rocky west face of Aconcagua is in the background: the route heads up over the ridge just out of the left hand side of the image before approaching the summit from the back (seen from this direction).
