I was lucky enough to reach the summit of Aconcagua on January 19, 2026. My preparation is exactly as you describe: I started preparing physically, psychologically, gathering terrain information, gear knowledge, and understanding what I would encounter — all 11 months before going to Aconcagua. I spoke with many people, including you, July, who completely unselfishly — even though I told you from the start that I had already bought a package with another company — helped and informed me without any hesitation or self-interest, which helped me enormously! I am certain that Aconcagua is extremely tough, but it is achievable if you are humble and train and get informed by people the way I did — asking even the most basic and obvious questions. I will always be grateful for everything you helped me with, and hopefully one day we can attempt a summit together with your team. Sending you a big hug and again, thank you.

About Julián Kusi
From the kitchen to the summit of Aconcagua
I started in 2013 as a camp cook at Aconcagua's base camps. The mountain called me and I became a porter, learning every route, every danger, every secret of this imposing summit. In 2018 I obtained my official mountain guide certification. Today, with 17 successful summits, I guide international climbers with the highest standard of safety and experience.
