The best time to visit the park is the Summer (December to February). The weather is unpredictable and can become cold quickly. Permits are required to climb the mountain and for trekking. The park boasts of the highest mountain outside of the Himalayas and is crowned by eternal glaciers and stunning views. A number of archaeological sites can also be seen along the trekking path.
The park is well maintained and clean. Do visit if you are looking for a camping experience or a nice hiking experience. The view of the valley is something that is magical. It is truly a natural wonder. Parque Provincial Aconcagua is the home of Cerro Aconcagua, the highest peak in the continent and a favorite climbing destination for mountaineers. Those who are not interested in climbing can hike and settle beneath the snow-line in the base camp or the shelters in the park.
