Welcome to the start of the RMI Aconcagua Expedition! Everybody in the group is in Mendoza and we are very excited. Our plan is to have dinner and try the great Argentinian beef! Tomorrow morning we will get the climbing permits and do some shopping for lunch food and other last minute items. After that we will drive three hours through the Andes Mountains and arrive at Los Penitentes (8200-8500 feet) to spend our first night at altitude and start with the acclimatization. We will be checking in tomorrow. -RMI Guide Gabriel Barral and the RMI Aconcagua Expedition
