When Wolfy passed away a few weeks ago I realized that life is really (really) short and since doing a trek in Huaraz has always been in my list, I better take my chance now before I am sent back to Malaysia.

What do you think?
I enjoyed reading your entry about your trek, especially as I am planning to do one myself in Huraz...it sounds very physically demanding, and I am a 19 year old girl on her own with not very much trekking experience apart from a couple of weeks in the Himalayas two years ago. Did you enjoy yourself, and would you recommend it? And more importantly, were those girls ever found?! Would love some feedback if you can - thanks, and have a good time on your travels! www.travelblog/bloggers/lizzie-and-spud
