Ready in Penitentes
Rikki was able to fire off one last photo early this morning before they jumped in the 20-minute van ride to the trailhead. Considering the shorts and t-shirts, it looks like a nice day for a stroll in the Vacas Valley to the Pampa de Leñas camp. The terrain today is a gradual uphill walk on a rocky trail, nothing too challenging and a nice way to start the trip. I’m sure they packed some luxury food items in the mule loads for dinner tonight which probably included some steak, fresh veggies and maybe a bottle of wine. Nice work getting out of the gate.
