Went trekking for 3 days in the Cordillera Blanca. It means White Mountain Range, or White Mountains...funny coincidence, but the White Mountains I come from in Arizona don´t have quite the vistas these do. I think the total was about 25 miles in 2 and a half days, but the second day we walked SRAIGHT UP the side of a 60 degree incline. We walked up one valley where mountains shoot up like pop-up book figures for the Gods, then we hiked up one of said mountains and came down the other side in another high-mountain valley. The mountain pass we went on was 5,200 meters...somewhere around 15,000 feet...shorts and ¨sandles¨. I went with this random German guy named Christian and a local Guide/Cook who´s name might be sailor...but I´m not sure. It was a good group, we had a good time (I even got to roll some rocks). From this internet cafe, I´m headed to Sailor´s house to hang out and watch Touching the Void! ha ha.
Check out this link for a few pictures from the area and the Trekking.
