Jared, lead guide, called in to report that the team arrived safe and sound at the Pampas de Lenas camp (9,000 ft). The team began their day hiking up the mouth of the Vacas Valley and wound their way through a desert landscape, following the Vacas river, to reach their first campsite. For dinner the team feasted on asado, a yummy barbeque style dinner of mixed meat products, an Argentine specialty. Tomorrow the team will continue up valley, following the Vacas river, until they reach Casa de Piedra.
