They reached the summit today! It was very windy and cold, but they made it to the top of the highest peak out of the Himalayas at 22,834′.

They waited an extra day with harsh weather at High Camp and that was highly rewarded with an unforgettable experience.

The group is now back at High Camp. They will spend the night there and continue towards Plaza de Mulas Base Camp tomorrow.

Congratulations for the effort!

This itinerary is not only beautiful because of its scenery, but also gives them a great opportunity to get a good acclimatization, as they progressively gain altitude. Last night they stayed at Casa de Piedra and continue towards Base Camp today.

They all are fine and enjoying the first days of their expedition. Tomorrow they are planning to take a rest day.

Yesterday they spent the night in Penitentes, where they shared dinner at the hotel.

This morning they woke up and went to the trailhead. They showed their permits to enter the Aconcagua park at the rangers’ office and after that, they were ready to begin the 3-day approach hike to Plaza Argentina Base Camp.

We spoke with Cacho, their lead guide, who told us they are fine and motivated in Pampa de Leñas, where they will spend the night. They were getting ready to have dinner, a typical barbecue made by the local arrieros.

We will keep you informed.
