Sergey Avtomonov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone from the slopes of Kilimanjaro! Today we left the hotel and finally got to the national park! Got a little wet in the rain while walking through the beautiful rainforest! We went up to the first tent camp, had a delicious meal and rest! The guides Evgeny Fedyunin and Sergey Avtomonov were with you.

Director of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko reports from Peru:

Greetings from Peru from Alexander Abramov and Lyudmila Korobeshko! Our exploration of the new program in Southern Peru continues! Yesterday we climbed a five-thousand-meter peak near Ausangate, not far from the Rainbow Mountains.  The area is beautiful - there are a lot of colorful lakes along the way (there are “7 Lakes trek” here, but in reality there are much more lakes), sharp snow-capped summits rise around.

The peak of Maria  with a height of 5500 is a simple to climb, but very beautiful. From the camp at 4500, the first 2-3 hours are a simple but extremely picturesque trek, then another 1.5-2 hours with crampons on a glacier with closed crevasses and the last pre-summit steep snow-ice slope. You go out on the top carefully (there are overhanging cornices) and are stunned by the beauty that opens up!

A couple of hours down - and you are greeted with lunch (in Peru, good service in the mountains - and tents are set up and a whole dining room is organized even for a small group), a couple more hours past the most beautiful lakes down - and you jump into hot springs, soak and restore muscles tired after a hike with a view of grazing alpacas and snow-white summits.

For the future, we decided that join a trekking in the Rainbow Mountains + a piece of trek around Ausangate + climbing Maria Peak with a descent to hot springs. It will be a super program!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Argentina:

Bon Dias! The “Coca-Cola 2×5” group climbed on the highest point of South America Aconcagua on December 25. Catholic Christmas turned out to be snowy, in the second half it started snowing. But at that moment we were already on the descent from the top. Tomorrow we have a transfer to Horcones, from where we move to hot Mendoza. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Viktor Volodin.
