Here are presented some pictures from the expedition to the South America that was arranged by the Trekking Сlub in January/February, 2015. The whole journey took 30 days and started in Argentina: the main aim was to reach the summit of Aconcagua peak (6962m) - the highest point of South America, and it was successfully done on January 25th! Still, we had enough time after the climb to explore the country: Mendoza wine region, Iguazu falls, Buenos Aires…
