The 7 Summits Club team “Zorros Rojos y otros” moved to Laguna Verde, to a comfortable base camp under Ojos del Salado

January 6. Greetings from the Atacama Desert, Chile, from the group “Zorros Rojos y otros”! Our morning at Laguna Rosa began with a run along the lake. And then Olya Moroz held a yoga class right in front of a flock of flamingos. Even the guanacas were curious about what we were doing, and they came closer.

After breakfast, we got ready and went to Laguna Verde. On the way, we stopped at a warm river called Lama. And a little later we saw Ojos in all its glory.

The camp at Laguna Verde amazed us with its beauty and comfort. A huge dining tent with electricity and internet, separate sleeping tents, super-stable toilets (which is extremely important in the strong Atacama winds).

Before dinner, we bathed in the hot springs. And celebrated Christmas.

Tomorrow we have acclimatization on the slopes of Ojos - we plan to walk at altitudes of 5500-5900.

Expedition leader Lyudmila Korobeshko and assistant leader Alexander Spirin. Hasta la vista!
