Some of our favorite quick clips recorded by our clients on Aconcagua this season!
Not all adventures go into the mountains, they follow the flow of water from the mountains.

At BBE, we pride ourselves in living as close to the natural world as possible whilst making every effort to minimize our footprint.
To minimize our impact on the environment, we educate our staff and guests in appropriate techniques and methods to preserve the environment. We come from the wildest of pristine Patagonia in South America, and because of this, we have always been conscious of a necessity to leave zero trace when in the wilderness. We proudly apply this philosophy to every situation and location we visit. In fact, we strive to leave the area cleaner than how we found it, a concept in which we are the pioneers. Benegas Brothers Expeditions was one of the first expedition companies to lead cleanup projects, from Everest to Aconcagua, and we operate under the belief that “If you take care of the mountain, the mountain will take care of you.” To protect the environment during outdoor adventures, we implement our “Leave No Trace” policy with the following seven principles:
🗻 Plan ahead and prepare
🗻 Travel and camp on durable surfaces
🗻 Dispose of waste properly
🗻 Leave what you find
🗻 Minimize campfire impacts
🗻 Respect wildlife
🗻 Be considerate of other visitors
We rely heavily on each of our principles to ensure we keep the environment our top priority during our outings. During each of our expeditions, we thoroughly explain and put our principles into use, making sure each of our guests have a deep and thorough understanding of the best methods and practices to reduce our impact on the environment.

El Gran Capitan
Yosemite Valley in California holds a very special place in our hearts. Having grown up on the coast of Patagonia and with just one copy of a Patagonia Catalog and a climbing instructional book from Desnivel, and the nearest rock was 1000km away, we only dreamed of climbing in such a place. Fast fwd a few years, we moved to Califonia from Argentina in the 1990s, and while working on tug boats in the San Francisco bay, we made the granite walls of el Capitan our second home. Now in our 50s, older but wiser, we still head back to our roots and climb El Grand Capitan!
Queremos contarles que Willie se está recuperando, y esta mucho mejor. Queremos agradecer primero y principalmente a las y los rescatistas y a los técnicos de emergencias médicas.
A Winslow Passey quien encabezó e hizo un rescate excepcional, sin lugar a dudas la principal razón por la cual Willie sigue con nosotros hoy. Gracias a Gina, Kellin, Kristina, Lizzie, Krista, Stacey, no solo por sus esfuerzos si no también por su preparación. La semana anterior al accidente, ellas tomaron un curso de Rescate en Avalancha (Cada una igual ya se había formado en el tema antes) y gracias a esto también pudieron ayudar a la supervivencia de Willie.
Gracias a la patrulla de rescate de Solitud y Snowbird, Powderbirds, Asociación de Rescate de Wasatch, Emergencias médicas de Intermountain Life Flight y todos los que ayudaron desde el primer momento hasta que Willie llegó al hospital, y los que siguieron apoyando a toda la familia.
Las palabras escritas no bastan para expresar la profundidad de nuestra gratitud. Willie ha participado en múltiples rescates, empatiza con los rescatistas y les desea lo mejor en el propio proceso que debe hacer cada uno después de un evento así.
Gracias a Karen Diener por organizar un GoFundMe para ayudar a pagar las cuentas medicas. Muchísimas gracias a todos aquellos que han donado, el soporte de toda la comunidad ha sido enorme.
Los accidentes son parte de la carrera de un guía profesional. De todos modos no buscamos tales incidentes, y las lesiones por stress y trauma psicológico que resultan de estos eventos son graves, alentamos a aquellos involucrados en tales situaciones a buscar apoyo profesional para procesar sus experiencias.
A mantenerse fuerte, a salvo y nos veremos en las montañas!
