Greetings from Mexico, from the "Promising Optimists" group! Yesterday, almost the entire group of us climbed to the summit of Volcano Orizaba. It wasn't easy. On the way to the glacier, a cloud covered us, leaving us covered in a crust of ice. I almost thought our epic ice climb would be repeated. But then the clouds cleared. Those who persevered, climbed the glacier, and continued along the volcano's snowy cone were rewarded with magical views and sunny weather.

And in the evening, a surprise awaited us – an unforgettable mariachi concert and celebratory fireworks.

Greetings from Argentina! The "Otkryvashka" group has entered the active acclimatization phase. Yesterday, we ascended from Puente del Inca to Confluence Camp, 3,400 meters. Before leaving, we took a short hike to the famous bridge. The weather is terrible, but we remain optimistic. Today, we made a radial hike to Plaza Francia and admired the beautiful views of the South Face of Aconcagua. Now we're resting and preparing for tomorrow's trek to Base Camp.
