After a tasty steak dinner and Mendocinian Malbec last night, our third group of this season is in the lodge at Penitentes, where they are going to spend the night, waiting to start their 3-day hike to base camp tomorrow.
The team is led by experienced guide Rolo Abaca, an excellent guide from Mendoza, who has worked many years in the mountains.
I will post more information every time we talk to them by the satellite telephone.
Cheers!
