The group left the hotel today and headed towards Los Penitentes, a small ski resort 6 km from the trailhead (2700m). Spirits were high. They will start walking tomorrow from Punta de Vacas. Tomorrow, many stoic mules will carry their mountain gear, their asado (barbercue) and even some bottles of Malbec red wine to their fisrt camp, Pampa de Leñas. I will keep you posted!
