Acclimation Day

Hola!
Today we enjoyed a leisurely morning and met up with one of our local guides; Chito. We then hiked up to a bit over 12,000 ft and enjoyed some views of the surrounding valley. After getting back to our resort, we had a filling lunch and then free time the rest of the afternoon to organize and read and relax. An enjoyable dinner and then off to bed to rest up for tomorrow’s climb!
We will check back in tomorrow,
Ari and team
