Popular Popi has been climbing in her native Argentina for many years and is a stalwart of the AC South American team. Her wealth of experience on Aconcagua makes her a much sought after member on any expedition team.
Popi Spagnuoli is an Argentine native with an impressive Aconcagua CV, having scaled the mountain 29 times. If that's not enough, in 2005 she become the first woman to achieve a winter ascent of South America's highest peak - and that was before she'd even turned 30!
Popi is an EPGAMT Mountain Guide who loves exploring mountains across the world and is now working for AC in South America and Nepal, guiding all three of our Aconcagua Expeditions in 2024/25 and our Everest Base Camp Trek #2, 2025. When she's not working in the mountains she is busy raising the next generation of adventurers, being a mum to her son Thomas.
