Team Acon-Conga Line Hikes to Canada Camp
Posted on January 15, 2024
Today we made an acclimatization hike to our first upper mountain camp, Canada Camp (16,600 ft). Aconcagua welcomed us with wind on our first venture on the slopes above Plaza de Mulas.
We are now ready to take a final rest day in Plaza de Mulas tomorrow before beginning the upper mountain portion of our expedition.
Saludos!
