Hola! We went down to Mendoza, where in a warm and festive atmosphere we awarded the participants of the Los Hombres group for their successful ascent of Aconcagua. We congratulate everyone on the upcoming New Year! Group guides Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

Greetings from sunny Argentina! Today our group gathered in the wonderful city of Mendoza. This is the most beautiful city in Argentina, there are many beautiful places, cool restaurants where you can try the famous steaks and Malbec wine. And from this beautiful city our journey to the summit of Aconcagua with the height of 6962 meters begins.

The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezina reports from Argentina:

Hola! We continue to prepare for the ascent of Aconcagua. The "Los Hombres" group, in their acclimatization plans, climbed to Nido de Condores, where we spent a night at an altitude of 5,500 meters. The wind was flapping the tents all night. The radio reported that at 6,000 meters, where the Berlin camp is located, the wind was over 60 km/h.

Hola! The "Los Hombres" group today had a rest day after a long trek from Confluencia to Plaza de Mulas. After lunch, we decided to go on an excursion to an abandoned shelter. On the way, we had to cross calgasporas (aka penitentes). It turned out to be a quite difficult task. But we managed!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Andrey Berezin reports from Argentina:

Hola! The "Los Hombres" group made a long trek from Confluencia camp to Aconcagua base camp - Plaza de Mulas. We covered 18 km with a 1000 meter elevation gain in 7 hours. These are the dry numbers that hide the strength and endurance of our group. Tomorrow is a rest and a short walk around the area of the base camp.

The 7 Summits Club guide Andrey Berezin reports from Argentina:

Hola! The "Los Hombres" group, according to the acclimatization plan, made a rotation to the Plaza Francia gorge. On the way, we met a wild vicuña – an animal related to the alpaca. We climbed to 4000 meters, looked at Aconcagua from the other side. After that we returned to the Confluencia camp, where we had a medical examination after lunch. Tomorrow we go to the base camp at Plaza de Mulas.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Andrey Berezin reports from Argentina:

Hola! The "Los Hombres" group arrived at the Confluencia camp today. Before that, the group registered at the National Park office, where they also received instructions on the rules for being in the National Park. After that, they set off. In three hours, slowly and exploring the surroundings, they reached the camp. We settled in comfortable tents, as usual, our service is at the highest level. We will spend two nights here. Tomorrow we will go towards Plaza Francia and after lunch we will undergo a medical examination.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Andrey Berezin reports from Argentina:

Hola! The "Los Hombres" group set off for the foot of Aconcagua. Today we arrived from Mendoza to Puente del Inca (Inca Bridge). Our glamping camp with comfortable cabins is located here. Upon arrival, we walked to the famous Inca Bridge, after which we started repacking our things to send to the upper camps: Confluencia and Plaza de Mulas. Tomorrow we enter Aconcagua National Park and climb to Confluencia Camp.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Valery Myasoedov reports from the Aconcagua base camp:

Greetings from Argentina! The advance group of guides arrived at the Aconcagua Base Camp at Plaza de Mulas 10 minutes ago. The first thing we did was inspect our domo (dome). It looks amazing! See for yourself!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Andrey Berezin reports from Argentina:

Hola! The first group of the 7 Summits Club this season has safely reached Argentina and has taken the name "Los Hombres" (Men). The participants gathered in hot Mendoza, where our path to the summit of Aconcagua begins. We quickly resolved all organizational issues, including obtaining permits. And we also managed to try the famous Argentine steaks.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Valery Myasoedov sends from Argentina:
Hello from Mendoza! Preparations for the start of the season are almost complete, food has been purchased and packed, tents and public equipment have been checked, gas, oxygen - everything is waiting to be sent to the Base Camp. There are some paperwork formalities left, which we plan to complete tomorrow. Also tomorrow we will meet the first participant of the first group, who arrives a day earlier, and then we will definitely be able to say: "The season has started!" We are in a great mood, the team is experienced, we are confident in another successful season on Aconcagua, a mountain that we know and love well. Guides Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

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.
