Airfare from Canada to Mendoza and back cost me around $1250 US but our group booked many months in advance. Aconcagua is a very serious climb to solo but is done a few. I would allow around $250US for mules to and from basecamp. Not many people do it without mules. The permit will cost you $330 US and then allow a few hundered for assorted things that come up. My total trip with 6 nights in Mendoza, permits, mules, eating ,partying air fare etc etc etc came to around $2500US plus some extra gear I bought for the trip.
