Our first trip of the season is already on its way to the mountains!
They had a meeting last night to get to know each other and go through all the details of the itinerary. They were all very excited to leave the city this morning!
This expedition will only last 12 days, as they came here already pre-acclimatized, using an Altitude Training System with a hypoxic tent.
The group will be ascending the Normal Route, hiking towards Confluencia Camp today, along the Horcones Valley. After spending the night there, they will head to Plaza de Mulas Base Camp tomorrow.
The team is led by the experienced guide Rolo Abaca, who is assisted by Pablo Goldengruss and Sebastián Satke. They will keep us updated calling us with a satellite phone.
