Zekeseven offers an amazing adventure climbing Llullaillaco Volcano in NW Argentina, in the Province of Salta.
Level
Advanced physical level needed.
Technical
The route does not present any technical difficulties, so experience in ice or rock climbing is unnecessary. You can make it walking. As to the route conditions, crampons, ropes and ice axes will be useful. The guides take all the security decisions.
Physical
To avoid acclimatization disadvantages and to increase the possibilities of success, we recommend special physical training and a special diet 2 or 3 months before starting.
Others
The principal obstacle could be the altitude effect, which can be avoided undergoing adequate acclimatization before climbing (included in the program).
The low temperature requires special clothing and gear for a comfortable trip.
Time
GMT -3.
Currency
The local currency is the peso. One euro is about 4 pesos
and one Usd is about 3 pesos. It is not necessary to travel
with a lot of cash (pesos or dollars). Visa, MasterCard or American
express are accepted everywhere..
Customs
To enter the country, only a passport is needed.
Health
Nothing is compulsory concerning vaccination. Being vaccinate
against Hepatitis B is recommended. And an important point:
do not drink water of the tap.
Food
Argentina is famous for its wines produced mainly in the province of Mendoza, near The Andes, and… for its beef! Ask for a "bife de chorizo" or "lomo" and enjoy! In Patagonia, try the Patagonian lamb barbecue, and a trout from the lakes and a Pacific salmon!
If you are vegetarian, don't worry, Argentina is a great fruit and vegetable producer, you will find variety and quality at very low prices.
