Travel Plan
We took the bus to Vicos. We begin the ascent to Base Camp passing through a dense eucalyptus forest. The west slope begins along a well-laid path, gaining altitude. The view of the valley becomes notorious the cultivated fields of the town of Vicos. Next to the Legiacocha 4600 lagoon is the Base Camp.
Ascent to Camp 1 of the Cup passing through the "Canaleta" with eventual stone falls, reaching the southern edge of the glacier to set up camp. Wide panoramic view.
The route takes the immense glacier avoiding deep crevasses but with gentle slopes, the last 50 m to the top are the most difficult. Return to camo 1 then to Base Camp.
