The 7 Summits Club guides are already in Argentina and have started preparing for the season. There is still time to join the groups on Aconcagua!
Hello from sunny Mendoza! The advance guard of guides is already here and is starting to prepare for the long season on Aconcagua. Mendoza greeted us, as always, warmly. We passed passport control in 5 minutes, and customs did not even ask what we had in our huge bags. Argentina has changed a lot over the past year, the economy is stabilizing, all the locals note this, but, as a result of the reforms, prices have increased significantly. The official and street exchange rates of the dollar to the peso are almost the same, and the advantage that all foreigners had has disappeared. We have to get used to it...
First of all, we visited the office of our partners, discussed the innovations of this season, met new employees, looked around the warehouse with rental equipment and even tried on some things. By the way, our partners Aconcagua Vision are renting an office in the Diplomatic Hotel this year, which is very convenient for our participants and for us, since we rent a house right across the street. Today, we are planning to sort out the deposit and, at the same time, we are processing permits at the Migration Service. There is a lot of work, but we have everything worked out and tested over the years, there will be no problems. The season is long, until the end of February, and those who are still thinking about climbing Aconcagua have time. Sign up for groups, come, and we will organize everything here at the highest level. Guides Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.
Next trips: 11 and 23th December.
