Aventuras Patagonicas on Our second expedition of the season left town today

After a succesful acclimatization to Mendoza's steaks and Malbec wine, our second expedition of the season left town today. The british climber John Bergius  and the guides Carlos Liendo (Chile) and Larry Holmgreen (Alaska) headed towards Los Penitentes.

This ski resort functions in summer as starting point for many expeditions. Tomorrow they will hit the trail, as our arrieros (gauchos) load the mules with the group supplies. It will take them 3 days to get to base camp (Plaza Argentina), if all goes according to plans.

They will be calling to Mendoza from a sat phone, so I will post more news as they come.

Regards!
