Summary in English: We decided for a side trip to Tilicho Lake after few rest days in Manang. However we woke up to the country covered by snow after the 1st day hike to the lake. As the hike to the lake has some dangerous sections it was unable to cross in snow and we had to continue to the pass instead. We headed to Yak Kharka. We had enough time. So we didn't hurry and allowed ourselves good acclimatisation. Thanks to this we could spend a night before the hike to the pass in the High Camp we no problems. We reached the Thorung La pass without any big problems. However there was a terrible cold on the way to the pass. And behind the pass it was very windy. The countryside was very dry ... read more

Ahojte, tak sa vam hlasime z Chame, kde je prvy internet na tejto ceste, dalsi bude asi az za 3,4 dni. Zatial sme mali pekne pocasie, prebojovali sme sa cez tropy do jemnejsieho podnebia, takze nam uz nie je az tak teplo ani v dlhych nohaviciach. Prvy den sme mali pekny vyhlad na nejake zasnezene kopce, potom dva dni nic a vcera opat - tentokrat aj vieme, ze to co sme videl bolo Manaslu, ktore na zaver dna vykuklo z mrakov a bolo pekne osvetlene.

Summary in English: We just went to book an accomodation to the hostel for our last night in Chile when we arrived to Santiago. We left the small backpacks in this hostel and then we headed out of the city to the Cajon del Maipo. We wanted to go the Banos Morales and do some treking from there. But we found out there is just one bus in the mornig which goes over there. So we took a bus just to the village San Alfonso. We would describe Canon del Maipo as a weekend destination to the nature for many of Santiago inhabitants. It was easy to recognize by prices as well. But after walking the whole village we found one normall priced campsite where we stayed that night. We took morning bus to the Banos ... read more

Summary in English: We found good and cheap accomodation in Arequipa (Scandinavia hostel, Calle Ugarte). Arequipa was our last stop in Peru. We wanted to visit Colca Canon - the deepest canon in the world, which is few hours from here. We did not know to decide if to go there on our own or by some tourist agency. But after few warnings because of rainy season and founding some bad news on internet we decided for the agency. After all it was good decision because our guide was a nice guide, who answered us all questions we had. He told us lots about local nature, people and traditions. We had to travel few hours by bus first to little town Cabanaconde. We had lunch there and we hiked slowly down the canyon in the afternoon. ... read more
