Greetings from the "Malbecs" group on the slopes of Aconcagua! Today, after an acclimatization night at 5,500 meters, we descended to Plaza de Mulas Base Camp (4,300 meters). We need to recuperate before the final climb. We were lucky to descend in time, as the weather suddenly deteriorated after lunch, with snow sleet falling from the sky. This is a sure sign of a thunderstorm. Thunder and lightning were quick to arrive, and for 5-6 hours we watched the storm in the mountains. Tomorrow is a well-deserved rest day. Group guides: Georgy Bushuev and Dmitry Semenov.

This is the "Five Spartans" group! Today was a simple day: we left the hotel and drove three hours to Puento Del Inca. Here we unpacked our belongings and handed them over to the porters. We checked into comfortable dome tents, or "domos." We had dinner and visited the legendary Inca Bridge. Tomorrow morning, we'll head to Aconcagua National Park and ascend to our intermediate camp, Confluence. Guides: Sergey Avtomonov and Leuan Atabiyev.
