Greetings from the slopes of Ararat from the "Agiri" group! Today we had an acclimatization rotation to the assault camp. In the morning it seemed that it would rain, but by our exit everything had stretched out. We left quite quickly, went up and admired the views of Ararat along the way. When we reached the assault camp, the mountain was covered, and we again prepared for the rain. But we were almost not wet, and we returned to our camp dry. We rested, ate and are preparing for tomorrow. Tomorrow we will go up to spend the night in the assault camp. With you were guides Leuan Atabiev and Sergey Avtomonov.

Greetings from Peru to everyone! Today the Intipalka team finished their trek around Mount Ausangate. On the final day of trekking we walked 17 km, climbed to the 5100m pass, met a vinicunca and local chinchillas. And the reward was the hot springs at the very end of the route, right in front of the bus. We are rushing to Cusco to celebrate the successful completion of the trek!

The weather was wonderful. After lunch we visited the rental point and were ready to leave for the slopes of Elbrus.

Today our new group called "Agiri" left Van towards Ararat. We got there in three hours. We went out on the trail. At first it was very hot. Then it started to rain, but the sun did not stop shining. When we reached the base camp, the weather improved, and we dried off. We had lunch, rested, and then it started to rain again. We hope the weather will improve tomorrow.

 Greetings from Peru! Today our "Intipalka" team started the day by visiting a brand new wonder of the world.

In 2010, the glacier that hid this beauty disappeared and now it is the second most popular place here after Machu Picchu.

And then we warmed up a bit on foot. And reached our first camp, located at an altitude of 4600 meters. This is how our trekking around Mount Ausangate began.

Herds of alpacas, lakes and glaciers around!
