Today we trekked to Plaza de Mulas. It was a really long day, about 7 and a half hours straight walking. We did well, too, hiked it pretty fast. (looking at this typing, if anything is spelled wrong its because I’m typing on a spanish computer so the spellcheck is telling me everything in wrong). Anyways, we woke up at 5:30, the morning sun revealed beautifully lit orange clouds haloing huge moutain peaks. After about two hours of walking we had a river crossing, so that was a nice wake-up to our weary dusty feet. All day we were in a wide valley, and we were able to enjoy fantastic views all day. We arrived at Mulas/ Base Camp at about 2 in the afternoon. It is another tent city but this time directly under Aconcagua and the surrounding glacier covered peaks.
