The team is packed and ready to start walking. First day of the approach is today. They’ll need 3 days to get to base camp. Nice part is that we use mules to carry all the group gear for these first 3 days. Weather is perfect for the first day on the trail. Christmas Eve will be spent in Pampas de las Lenas. With any luck, they’ll be sleeping out under the stars tonight.
