- Acclimatization Trek towards Plaza Francia (Nickel Wood)
IMG Senior Guide Nickel Wood along with our first class guide team of Tincho and Leo checked in last night and again this afternoon to let us know the team is doing great. They decided to take an additional day of acclimatization at Camp Confluencia. This is a great decision! Yesterday afternoon, they had a heavy rainstorm and more was predicted for today. The heavy rain will create less than ideal conditions for trekking to Plaza De Mulas. That combined with having other teams on the route helped make the decision. Right now, our team is one of very few at Camp Confluencia and are enjoying some home cooking from Leo and Tincho.
The team will move uphill in the morning and we will look forward to hearing from them once they arrive to Plaza De Mulas!
