A.P. 3 (Dec 10-21, 2022)

We met this motivated team yesterday! They had a group meeting and tasted a typical barbecue paired with some local wines. Here´s a pic of them enjoying this delicious meal.

They left the city this morning to start hiking  the Normal Route along the Horcones Valley.

 They will spend their first night at Confluencia Camp. Tomorrow they will continue to Base Camp.

The group is led by the guides Rolo Abaca, Matias Nestares and Gastón Riollo. They will keep us updated, calling us by sat phone.

We’ll keep you posted!

We are thrilled to share the big news! Our first expedition got to the summit today after a long and tough day!

They got to the top of the Americas and the highest peak out of the Himalayas! A breathtaking experience!

The team is safe and happy. They 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 to all of  them for this big achievement!

The team successfully carried some loads to Camp 1 today.

There they cached the loads and descended down to Base Camp with empty packs to spend the night. 

Tomorrow they will take a rest day and they will move up to Camp 1 the day after.

These two pictures were taken today by the team, an absolutely beautiful day!

We spoke with Gastón, the lead guide, who said everyone is fine. 

We will keep you updated!

This amazing team got to Base Camp yesterday!

They are all doing fine and  have already got  to 13,800 feet! 

They will spend about 3 nights at Base Camp.

The first day at Base Camp is always a rest day and a good occasion to take a bath and go for a short walk. They divide the expedition loads to carry to the next camp: community gear, fuel, food and individual lunches. After resting at Base Camp, the plan will be to carry to Camp 1 and down to Base Camp again to hopefully move up the next day.

Florencia, one of the guides sent us this nice pic !

We’ll share more news as soon as we hear back from them.
