Cerro del Medio 4170 m Expedition: Guide to Your First High-Altitude Summit
Cerro del Medio (4,170 m) is one of the best stepping stones into high-altitude mountaineering in Argentina. It’s not the highest peak in the Andes, but it offers what many beginner destinations don’t: real elevation gain, a full Andean range landscape, and the satisfaction of standing above 4,000 m for the first time.
It lies in the Cordón del Plata range, Mendoza, and with MONS we run it as a 3-day expedition with all logistics covered. If you’ve already done a Mountain Baptism–style trek or have some experience with high-altitude hiking, Cerro del Medio is your logical next step.
