Aconcagua Expedition Dispatch

January 29, 2010 – Juancho’s Photo Story

This last dispatch is dedicated to our guide and photographer, Juancho Miranda.

It has been with pleasure that we have seen the development of Juancho as he has become a fantastic photographer with Berg Adventures. It seems not so long ago that we brought him his first camera; now he is already upgrading for a better, more professional one and his skills are improving with every trip. Good photography at high altitudes and under difficult condition requires unique skills and a certain amount of determination, and Juancho is definitely on the path to mastering these skills, as shown in the photos below.

Thanks for everything, Juancho!
