MULES FOR TRANSPORTATION

ACONCAGUA LOGISTIC SERVICES

 

In INKA Expeditions we have our own mules for transportation, which guarantees a safe arrival for both people and loads transported. They also transport all provisions of fruits, vegetables and fresh food to the camps.

Each animal can transport a maximum weight of 60 kg. This is why we insist on not packing loads that weigh more than 30 kg in one bag, because we have to balance the loads, with a maximum weight of 30 kg on each side of the mule. The mules and the mule drivers transport the loads to base camp, except for your personal daily backpack.

Muleteers

The muleteers called “Arrieros”, are historic characters in Argentina. They are strong and simple men that live in the country and work with animals from a very young age. Each one of them works with 3 loaded mules to guarantee safety for the transported equipment. They are responsible for loading and unloading the mules, and also help the climbers to cross the strong mountain rivers and they are always happy to share with you their knowledge of the area.
