"I love the mountains",
Jannet Palavecino (57)
was described
.
She was a hobby that mobilized her: her social networks are dominated by photos surrounded by snowy peaks and trails.
That passion of hers had led her to vacation to the peaks of
Nepal
, land of the Himalayas and a country where adventure tourism has grown in recent times.
This Sunday she was
one of the 68 victims of the Yeti Airlines flight
that crashed while crossing a mountain area.
Janet was the only Argentine on that flight where no survivors have yet been found.
The plane plunged into an area of ravines, which even complicated the rescue of the bodies.
The flight, coming from Kathmandu, the Nepalese capital
, crashed shortly before 11 local time (2:15 a.m. in Argentina) near Pokhara,
in the center of the country, where it was supposed to land.
Jannet Palavecino, the woman who died in the plane crash in Nepal
Jannet was a native of Neuquén and a member of one of the most beloved families in the area.
The Palavecinos own the Hotel Suizo
, founded in 1969 by Rubén and Stellina Rusconi, parents of the deceased mountaineer.
She was, along with her brother Omar, who currently managed it.
The family's maternal grandparents had arrived in Argentina at the beginning of the last century, from the area of the Canton of Grisons.
It is a region characterized by alpine landscapes.
The mountain was already in the blood by ancestry.
With the growth of the work on the El Chocón dam, in the 1970s, the place grew exponentially and went from being a residence with just a couple of rooms to a much larger hotel, located in the heart of the Capital, in the commercial center.
Palavecino was passionate about a
"It is a commercial venture,
but it is also part of our family history,
" Palavecino had said in a report with the LMNequén portal.
In that same note, he said that a large part of his passion for his work came from his family roots, from remembering the hallways where they played as boys and where his two children, now adults, later ran around.
Due to her activity in the hotel industry, she had become a recognized businesswoman and much loved in the environment.
Even the governor of Neuquén, Omar Gutiérrez, took a minute to remember
her on her social networks.
"We will miss you and always keep this in our memory. My greetings and condolences to all the family and affection," she wrote on Twitter.
But his great passion had been physical activity.
He did bike, trekking, walks, some running.
He even participated in the organization of the Copahue Extremo race, an extreme Trail circuit in the landscapes of Neuquén.
"Great person and great collaborator in the organization of Copahue Extremo.
Our condolences to family and friends
. Goodbye dear Jannet," the organizers reminded her.
Her search to continue exploring the secrets of the mountains had taken her to Nepal.
She had traveled earlier this year, where she did the "Three Steps Trek" in Lukla, and other treks around Kathmandu.
"Going to Nepal was her dream as a mountaineer,"
one of her friends posted on social media.
He also chose to remember her by María Cantos, another friend of hers on social networks, with a heartfelt phrase.
"Maximum respect and admiration for a powerful woman who lived and died fulfilling her dreams."
