The team left the city today and went to the trailhead at Horcones. They had a group meeting yesterday and today they were ready to start the trip!
The group is ascending the Normal Route and they already got to Confluencia Camp, where they will spend the night. The expedition will only last 12 days, as they came already pre-acclimatized, using an Altitude Training System with a hypoxic tent. They are led by the guide Sebastián Satke, who is assisted by Sebastián Ruiz and Sebastián Giordanengo.
The guides will contact us with a satellite phone, so we can follow their steps as they move uphill.
We will keep you posted!

The group has already started the hike that will take them to Plaza Argentina Base Camp at 14,200′.
The trail goes along the Vacas and Ameghino Valleys and it gains altitude progressively, which is great for the acclimatization process. The team will spend their first night in the mountains at Pampa de Leñas.
The photo above shows them excited at the trailhead.
We will keep you posted!

We are excited to share the big news! They got to the summit today, having 10 people on top! Speed ascent of Aconcagua! This was one of our fast trips, taking them 9 days to summit.
After a challenging day, they reached the top of the highest mountain in America at 22,834′. They worked hard and stood at the highest peak out of the Himalayas, such an unforgettable experience!
The team will spend the night at High Camp and tomorrow they will continue to Plaza de Mulas Base Camp. The following day they will hike back down the Horcones Valley and return to the city.
Congratulations for this great achievement!
