Jaime Viñals, the renowned Guatemalan mountaineer, makes history by successfully climbing Guatemala’s 14 highest volcanoes in just 15 days. Progreso supported this unprecedented achievement that sets a new record for mountaineering in the region. Progreso is proud to have been a fundamental part of this challenge.
From the imposing Tacaná Volcano on the Mexican border, to the majestic Agua volcano, Viñals’ every step represented a challenge overcome with determination and Progreso’s unconditional support.
The challenge of the 14 volcanoes made by Jaime Viñals took him through different weather conditions: both in cold and rainy heights such as those of the Tacaná volcano, as well as the summit of the Siete Orejas volcano where he was able to observe the stars in a clear sky.
“I want to give them my sincere thanks. They are part of this dream and I am thankful for the enormous support they gave to make it a happy and tangible reality,” said Viñals. At Progreso we celebrate Jaime Viñals’ success for being a testament to the spirit of overcoming!
