Aconcagua Park

Aconcagua Park is a provincial park located in the department of Las Heras, Mendoza, Argentina. The park is home to the highest mountain in the Americas, Aconcagua, which stands at 6962 meters. The area is known for its arid and rocky terrain, with high peaks covered in eternal snow and scarce vegetation. The park is also home to several glaciers, which are reservoirs of freshwater, and archaeological remains, including the Aconcagua mountain, which was a ceremonial site for the Incas. Visitors can enjoy activities such as hiking, camping, climbing, and mountaineering, and can explore the park's natural attractions, including Laguna Horcones, Plaza de Mulas, and Plaza Francia. The park is also a great spot for birdwatching, with the majestic Condor being one of the most common birds in the area
