We were glad to welcome everyone back to the city, after their amazing trip to the mountains.

Yesterday the group had dinner together, sharing it with another expedition. They tasted a typical Argentinian barbecue, paired with great local wines.

After all those days spent together, the group got the chance to share a delicious meal, before going back home.

The pictures below show them on their way to the summit and enjoying dinner yesterday.

Congratulations for your big adventure! Have a nice flight back home!

After spending the night at Penitentes, the group started the approach trail today.

A van took them to the trailhead at Punta de Vacas. Ready for the adventure, they began this 3-day hike. It is approximately 40 kilometers long, so it will allow them to get a good acclimatization on their way uphill.

The trail is filled with amazing views and beautiful landscapes, where they will be able to appreciate the typical local flora and fauna.

This is just the beginning of their long-awaited expedition! As soon as we get more news, we will be posting them.
