Hi, we are Heli, Mauri and Kari Kobler

Three mountain guides and partners that created Aconcagua Vision.

Mauri and Heli are from Argentina and live in Mendoza. After years working in expeditions to Aconcagua we decided to set up our own company. We started searching for how to start and that is when Kari appeared and Aconcagua Vision was born.

Kari is Swiss and a big lover of Aconcagua and Argentina. And this loved moved him to create this company.

Mountain guides, people who work for Aconcagua Vision and ourselves are a big family. We have as main objective that every person that lives the Aconcagua experience with us as unique and can enjoy 100% in a secure, warm and familiar environment.
