The gradient is very mild up to our camp known as Approach Camp 1 at 9000 . One of the real treats on the approach trek is the nighttime. The temperatures are usually pleasantly warm and the stars are amazing.
Many people choose to sleep out in the open to enjoy the night.
We complete the approach today after 7-9 hours of trekking, in which we ll turn and head up the Relinchos Valley to base camp at Plaza Argentina. Camp is as 13,800 on a glacial moraine overlooking the river valleys of our approach. Here we bid farewell to the mules and establish base camp. Packing and organizing our gear is the mission for the day, combined with time for relaxing and acclimatization. Along the way we will encounter the amazing Neve Penitentes.
