When I was in Argentina I wanted to see Aconcagua but was not able to see it because the day I went there it was very cloudy.

Cuando (may need a subject pronoun here to avoid ambiguity) estaba en la Argentina quería ver la(not needed) Aconcagua pero no podía verlo (watch agreement) porque (missing a preposition here) el dia que me fue (wrong person)allí ('para allá' sounds better to my ears) era muy nublado.

I marked what was wrong above and gave some idea as to why.

I moved your thread to the appropriate for practicing what you're learning.

la(not needed) Aconcagua

Mountains have articles in Spanish.

El Everest, los Pirineos, los Andes...

I would say "el Aconcagua". However, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some regional variation in the use of "el/la".
