BASE CAMP PLAZA DE MULAS (14,300FT / 4,350M) IS SITUATED ON TOP OF THIS MORAINE JUST OFF THE HORCONES GLACIER AND BENEATH THE VAST WEST FACE OF ACONCAGUA.

Continuing on today, we follow a broad, stone covered valley floor from Confluencia to a steep trail that leads to a glacial moraine. Base Camp Plaza de Mulas (14,300′ / 4,350m) is situated on top of this moraine just off the Horcones Glacier and beneath the vast west face of Aconcagua. Base Camp Plaza de Mulas is very comfortable, with a huge mess tent and a full staff of cooks and porters. We await world-class mountain cuisine!
