“Our passion for the mountains”

For over 30 years, we’ve explored the snowy peaks, rocky slopes, and winding trails of Aconcagua. Our love for the mountains drives us to offer the best:

  1. Experience and Tradition: We’re part of Aconcagua’s history. Before the Provincial Park even existed, we were there, mapping routes and sharing the beauty of this Andean colossus. Our legacy spans generations of mountaineers and climbers.
  2. Diverse and Youthful Team: We blend the wisdom of experience with youthful energy. Our team includes seasoned veterans who know every nook and cranny, along with passionate young members who bring fresh ideas and perspectives. Together, we create a unique synergy to provide exceptional service.
  3. Comprehensive Services: We don’t just organize expeditions; we create experiences. From the moment you set foot in base camp until you reach the summit, we’re by your side. Our mules transport your gear, our guides provide direction, and our logistics ensure everything is in place. Need high-quality equipment? Looking for a cozy refuge? We’ve got you covered.
  4. Aconcagua’s Normal Route: Our specialty is the normal route. We know every step, every refuge, and every challenge. We accompany you from Plaza de Mulas to the summit, taking care of every detail so you can focus on the experience.
  5. David Vela: Our Founder and Mentor: David Vela is the heart and soul of Andesport. His connection to the mountains began at an early age when his father was part of the First Aconcagua Expedition in 1938. Since then, David has dedicated his life to exploring and sharing his passion for nature. Additionally, his son Tomás Vela is also an active part of our company, continuing the family tradition for generations.
  6. Skiing and Diving: At age 9, David was already linked to the mountains through skiing. He traveled to France to hone his skills in La Plagne and became a ski instructor. But his adventurous spirit didn’t stop there. David also became the first star diver, exploring the ocean’s depths.
  7. Assistance on Aconcagua: Since 1987, David has assisted climbers on Aconcagua and Tupungato Mercedario. His experience and knowledge are invaluable to our company and clients. He knows every crevice, climate change, and mountain challenge.
  8. David as a Mentor: David isn’t just an experienced guide; he’s also a mentor. His love for adventure and respect for nature are contagious. When you join Andesport, you’re following in the footsteps of someone whose life is intertwined with breathtaking summits and landscapes.
