Hello everyone from Papua New Guinea! Today our group in full force climbed Wilhelm Peak - the highest mountain in the country. We were a little unlucky with the weather. Almost the entire ascent, right up to the summit, we were accompanied by freezing rain. But on the descent the sun appeared and there were beautiful views. This is where the sports part of our program ended.

Hello everyone from Ecuador! Today we reached the Cotopaxi National Park and climbed the slopes of the Cotopaxi volcano to hold ice training and check our equipment before the climb. The weather continues to test us. There was rain, snow, and wind. But at the same time there was sun and beautiful views.

We climbed to the refuge, where we will spend the night before the climb. Then from there we climbed even higher - to the snow and there we practiced the skills of using mountaineering equipment.

And today on the way to the refuge we saw many huge condors that were soaring very close to us. And an Andean wolf that came to the refuge. But the wolf turned out to be very timid and immediately ran away.

For the night we went down to a comfortable hotel, but tomorrow we will return to the refuge again to go on the climb at night.

Olga Rumyantseva, the 7 Summits Club guide, sends from Ecuador:
Hello to everyone from Ecuador, where our group continued its exciting acclimatization today! Early in the morning we went into the jungle to look for birds. We didn't find many birds, but a lot of different hummingbirds flew to the site of our hotel. They flew around us and buzzed with their wings. Then we went to the butterflies.

An amazing place where thousands of different butterflies fly, but the most beautiful are the big blue ones. You can also feed the butterflies there and see how they hatch from their cocoons.

And finally, the final event of the day is a visit to the equator line in Quito. We visited the Museum of the Middle of the World, where we learned a lot of interesting things about Ecuador and the equator.

This is such a wonderful acclimatization. But tomorrow we will finally go to the mountains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Ecuador, the 7 Summits Club group acclimatizes in the jungle and under the rain

Olga Rumyantseva, the 7 Summits Club guide, sends from Ecuador:

Greetings to everyone from Ecuador, from the group that has not yet found a name for itself! Today, all the participants finally got together and early in the morning we went to get to know Ecuador, acclimatizing at the same time.

We climbed to the observation deck of the Pululau crater and, having looked at it from above, went down to the crater where people live. Previously, they were engaged in breeding cattle, but now they mainly receive tourists, organizing small hotels and offering various types of activities.

Having risen from the crater, we continued on our way to the area of the "cloud" forest of Mindo. And although the forest promised to be cloudy, and not rainy, on the way, when we went to see the waterfall, we got caught in a downpour. But we saw a very beautiful waterfall and walked through the jungle, which everyone also really liked.

And finally, we arrived in Mindo, where we visited a chocolate factory. We watched the entire process of making chocolate, and then tasted it. This is how we acclimatized.

Olga Rumyantseva, the super guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Ecuador:
Hello to everyone from Ecuador! The big adventures of one small and still nameless group begin here. Today, the group members flew to the capital of Ecuador, Quito, and despite the long flight, immediately went for a walk around the city center.

That is, first they walked around the city center, and then went up to the observation deck, where the statue of the Virgin Mary is located. We looked at Quito from above, at the statue towering over the city from close by, and even looked inside the statue.

At the same time, we combined the walk with acclimatization. After all, Quito is located at an altitude of 2800 meters, and in order to climb to the observation deck, we had to gain another 200 meters in altitude.
Tomorrow, when all the participants of our adventures gather in Quito, we will begin an exciting journey and acquaintance with the country.

The 7 Summits Club guide Olga Rumyantseva reports from Bolivia:

Greetings from Bolivia! Yesterday, our group climbed the summit of Huayna Potosi with all of us. The climb was quite difficult. The weather conditions were not always pleasant. The upper part of the mountain threw up an unpleasant surprise. There was no snow there, and the last part of the way we had to climb over rocks. But in the end, all the participants coped. We all got new experience and unforgettable impressions.

The 7 Summits Club guide Olga Rumyantseva sends from Bolivia:

 Greetings from Bolivia, where the Adventures of Zvyaginshtein group continues its journey. Today we had a very long day, full of various impressions.

Early in the morning we left La Paz towards Lake Titicaca to the city of Copacabana. We were very lucky. Yesterday the road was blocked by protesters, and it was impossible to drive along it. Now the road has been cleared. True, there were stones and all sorts of barricades left.

Therefore, traffic was difficult in some places. On the way to Copacabana, we stopped at the Kon-Tiki Museum - a place where the family lives, who helped make boats for Thor Heyerdahl for his expeditions. We looked at the boats and drove on.

To get to Copacabana, we crossed Lake Titicaca at its narrowest point by ferry from the town of Sao Paulo to the town of Sao Pedro. Such is the interesting geography. We walked around Copacabana a bit, looked at the local cathedral, walked around the market.

Then we got on a boat and went on a trip around the lake to the Island of the Sun. Upon arrival on the island, the first thing we did was look at the ancient ruins - the residence of the Inca emperor. Then we tasted local products. And after having a snack, we went on a short trek around the island to our hotel.

We checked into a very cozy hotel with a view of the Island of the Moon, where we will go tomorrow, and after a short rest we went for another walk to watch the sunset. Such a busy day it turned out to be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new 7 Summits Club group arrived in Bolivia and began their adventures from the Moon Valley

Olga Rumyantseva, the 7 Summits Club guide, sends from Bolivia:

 Hello everyone from Bolivia! A group called "Zvyaginshtein's Adventures" arrived here at dawn today. Finding ourselves at an altitude of 4,000 meters, which is how high the La Paz airport is located, we decided that the best acclimatization is active. Therefore, immediately after a short rest, we went on an excursion to get to know this wonderful city.

We began our acquaintance with the Moon Valley. These are amazing natural formations, the result of erosion, reminiscent of the surface of the Moon. We walked among the bizarre stone towers, in places decorated with sun-dried cacti.

From the Moon Valley, we teleported to the city center. A local means of transport - a telerifica or cable car in our language - helped us do this. There are 9 cable car lines above La Paz, connected to each other like metro stations. And like the metro lines in Moscow, each cable car line has its own color.

Moving through the air, we looked at the city from above. From here you can see how the houses are located, clinging to the mountain slopes.

Our excursion was a little overshadowed by the fact that there are currently mass protests in Bolivia. The central square of La Paz was cordoned off by the police. So we did not go there. We walked along the oldest and very narrow street of the city. We went to the museum of musical instruments, where after viewing the exhibition, everyone could show their talent by playing the instrument they liked. Then we walked through the witches' market. We studied the assortment of miraculous potions for all diseases in the world.

We finished the excursion by looking at what fruits and vegetables are sold at a regular market.

After that, we decided that we had acclimatized enough, and returned to the hotel to rest.

Hello everyone from Tanzania! Yesterday our large and very cheerful group gathered at the foot of Kilimanjaro. And this morning we began our journey to the summit.

At the very beginning of the walk, we came up with a name for the group - Anahata. "Anahata" is the heart chakra. We will open our hearts and receive joy (as much as possible) from this amazing journey.

Today we passed the first stage - through the jungle. We saw black and white colobus monkeys. In the first camp, where we reached today, all the participants were amazed at how comfortable it is.

Guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from sunny Morocco:

So our big Moroccan adventure has ended. Today the participants of the "Tajin" group went their separate ways. Some went home. And some continued their vacation in Morocco.

We spent the last two days in the wonderful city of Essaouira. We walked along its white and blue streets, ate fish from the fish market, breathed in the ocean air. The bravest even swam in it.

Essaouira is a wonderful city that we really didn't want to leave. It was a little sad to say goodbye. But everyone is already making plans for new trips with the 7 Summits Club.

The 7 Summits Club guide Olga Rumyantseva sends from sunny Morocco:

Greetings to everyone from Morocco from the Tajin group! Our desert adventures are over, but the journey around the country continues.
Having left the desert, we drove towards Marrakech, in order to then get to the ocean. But before Marrakech and especially before the ocean, many interesting things were still waiting for us.
Leaving the desert, we stopped at a factory where they make various beautiful products from stones, in which ancient petrified animals are found. There are a lot of them - such stones - here. And now you can see what living creatures inhabited our planet many millions of years ago. Well, and buy yourself such a "little animal" for home.
From the desert, we went to Ben Al Hadda - a place famous for one of the oldest and most beautiful fortresses. This fortress is also known for the fact that many famous films were shot there. For example, the film "Gladiator".
In the evening we checked into a cozy and authentic riad, and early in the morning, before breakfast, we went to the fortress. Or as they say here, to the kasbah. We wandered along the ancient streets, looked at the work of local artists.
After that, we went to Marrakesh as soon as possible, because we had a big tour of the city there.
We walked along the streets of the old city while the guide told us stories, visited the Bahia Palace, where we admired the colorful tiles and exquisitely decorated ceilings. But most of all, of course, we liked the Mojarelle garden - the garden of Yves Saint Laurent. Its bright colors and various cacti are very cool.
These are the two busy days we had. Today we are leaving for the ocean.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To begin our acquaintance with the Sahara, the 7 Summits Club "Tajin" group got caught in a downpour, which happens once every few years

The 7 Summits Club guide Olga Rumyantseva sends from sunny Morocco:

 Hello to everyone from Morocco from the Tajin group! Yesterday we reached the Sahara, survived a storm in the desert and spent a wonderful night among the dunes.

We spent half a day driving to the place where the huge orange dunes begin. Before heading into the desert, half of the group decided to relax by the pool. The other half of the group went for a ride on quad bikes through the dunes.

 Then we were all going to mount the camels and go to the tent camp in the desert. But as soon as we drove up to the camels, a real storm broke out. Streams of water poured down, lightning flashed. Local guides said that this happens here once every few years. As soon as the storm died down, refreshed by a light rain, we set out.

Lightning continued to flash, rain poured, but this did not prevent everyone from enjoying themselves. We spent the evening and night in a tent camp. True, it is a very comfortable camp - with beds and a hot shower in each room.

Until late at night we watched Berber dances to the beat of drums. Then we beat the drums ourselves and went to bed. But not for long. Because at six in the morning we went out onto a large dune to meet the dawn.

After breakfast, we mounted our camels again and left the desert with orange dunes.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva sends from sunny Morocco:

Greetings to everyone from Morocco from the Tajin group! Today, almost the entire group climbed Mount Toubkal. The team set out to climb long before dawn. We climbed over rocks for a long time, walked along rocky paths, looked at the stars and met the dawn. And finally, at eight in the morning, we found ourselves at the top.

Despite the fact that climbing Toubkal is considered quite easy, we had to work hard before we reached the top. Everyone was happy about it. Everyone was especially happy for our young participants in the climb.

By evening, we descended to the village of Imlil, where all the participants in the climb received well-deserved awards. Starting tomorrow, we will begin an exciting entertainment program in other places in Morocco.
