Navrat do Huarazu/ Back to Huaraz

---

Uz vcera vecer sme sa rozhodli skusit prejst cely trek za 3 dni. Rano sme vstali naozaj skoro, v noci opat prsalo a steny stanu trocha premokli a hukot blizkeho vodopadu tiez nepomohol k pokojnemu, nicim nerusenemu spanku. O 7.30 sme uz boli na ceste a znova sme pokracovali nadhernou sirokou roklinou plnou pokojne sa pasucich koni, oslikov a krav. Minuli sme dve velke laguny - Ichiccocha a Jatuncocha s krystalovo cistou vodou, plnych popadanych vetvi, kacic a ryb. Udolie sa postupne zvazovalo dole a potocik Santa Cruz sa menil na divoku riecku. Postupne pripudalo miestnych obivatelov, ktory tu obrabali svoje policka, rybarcili alebo nas minali na ceste. Obidvaja sme sa zhodli, ze nase rozhodnutie spavit tento trek samy bolo spravne - na nikoho sme sa nemuseli viazat a naplnilo nas to prijemnym pocitom ze sme zas nieco dokazali sami. Trek koncil v malej dedinke Cashapampa v ktorej sme si pockali na colectivo do Carazu a odtial autobusom do Huarazu. Vecer sme si vysli do mesta a ako odmenu za trek sme si dopriali zakusky /tie tu naozaj vedia robit/ a cerstvo vytlacene ovocne dzusy /niektore ovocie sme ani nepoznali/. Tento vylet sa nam obidvom velmi pacil a sme radi ze sme nanho isli, ale aj tak bolo velmi prijemne opat spat v poriadnej posteli.


Already yesterday we decided to try to do this trek in 3 days. In the morning we got up really early - it was raining at night again and our tent got a bit wet and also camping near the waterfall didnt help. At 7.30 we were on our way through magnificent wide valley full of calmly feeding horses, donkeys and cows. We passed to big lagunas - Ichiccocha and Jatuncocha with crystal clear water, full of fallen branches, ducks and fish. The valley was gradually descending and a little stream of Santa Cruz was slowly turning into proper wild mountain river. We also started to meet lots of locals - tending their fields, fishing or just on their way somewhere. We both agreed, that our desicion to do this trek DIY was a good one, we didnt have to rely on anybody and afterwards we felt good to be able to do staff without help. The trek finished in little village of Cashapampa in which we took a colectivo to Caraz and then bus to Huaraz. In the evening we went to the town and as a reward for this hard work we bought some cakes /they really know how to do them/ and some freshly made fruit juice /we even didnt know some of the fruit/. It was a really nice trip, but in the evening it felt even better to go to bed instead of our tent.
