10 Sentinel Seekers Visit Plaza Francia

 

The 10 Sentinel Seekers are now comfortably settled at Confluencia Camp. Today we visited the viewpoint of the majestic south face of Aconcagua, reaching 13,500 feet. After returning, we focused on resting and hydrating before our scheduled medical check at 5 PM. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the warm reception prepared by the staff. Many team members agree that eating everything they provide is more challenging than the trekking itself!

We successfully passed the medical check, so tomorrow we’ll continue our ascent toward the Plaza de Mulas base camp.

Christmas didn’t go unnoticed. After dinner, we played a game where everyone received their gift.

Things couldn’t be going better.

Warm regards,

Diego
