The team is at Casa de Piedra, which in Spanish means... house of...Piedra. It was another gorgeous day of trekking in the Vacas Valley. Everyone is doing great and we are excited to be one step closer to base camp. For me it's always fun to hear and see the expressions on people's faces as they truly appreciate how beautiful it is here.
We had a condor sighting, which is rare in the towering mountains. However, the elusive guanaco is nowhere to see. I'm pretty sure if I put on some Old Spice it will attract some for the team. Stay tuned!!

It was seven years ago when I walked in that same place. Just went through my photos from that trip. Great memories with even better people. Safe travels.

I remember that there’s some spectacular geology in that Valley. It really is a beautiful and unique place. Be sure to appreciate it !!
