In Mendoza we lodged on the same hotel as last time, Hotel Aconcagua, but we had not come all the way here to play luxury tourists, but also to look a bit closer on the mountains. For one mountain is no mountain, and even though I had both seen and ascended Aconcagua back in 2006 there are many more interesting mountains in both Argentina and the Andes Cordillerera as such. From Aconcagua I had seen a big and impressive mountain to the north, and that mountain we wanted to look a bit closer on. |
