South America » Peru » Ancash » Huaraz » Huascaran National Park September 13th 2010

Awesome Fun for a Sore Arse It had been a restless night’s sleep. Some kind of fiesta was happening because the BANG of bottle rockets had carried on well past midnight, as had the howling of the city’s many dogs. Then, just as it seemed the city had finally gone to sleep, the roosters started up. Whoever said that roosters crow at dawn is full of shit because these cocks started up long before the grey light of pre-dawn. We were picked up by the tour company’s shuttle bus at 6AM. The Boss and I had moved our bags into Kyle and Tahlei’s room and left the keys and a note explaining that we had checked out but would be back to pay that evening. The guy who booked our tour told us that, for $50 ... read more

Huanchaco to Trujillo Our last day in Huanchaco was spent for the most part in bed. Kyle enjoyed his birthday so much that he couldn’t be vertical until 7 PM. We went for dinner and then had a few beers at the hostel before going out for an evening of reggae. The locals described it as “the only thing in Huaraz worth going out for” and it happens every Friday at a bar that is quite literally on the beach. Thongs and shorts were more than dressy enough and we stood on the sand, having a beer and enjoying a band consisting of at least 8 members, including two singers (one of whom wore a black jacket with green, yellow and red piping and a big picture of Bob Marley on the back, just so the ... read more

He realizado muchas excursiones y campamentos en la cordillera blanca en los que conocí paisajes espectaculares e inolvidables. En esta ocasión realizé el trekking al lago 69, me acompañaron mi hermano Juan Carlos, mi madre Nelly y dos amigas suizas Manu y Christina. Muy temprano por la mañana, partimos a la ciudad de Yungay. Llegamos las 7:00 am y tomamos un taxi privado que nos llevaría hasta el km. 31 de la carretera que va hasta el pueblo de Yanama. En el control de ingreso al parque nacional Huascarán pagamos 5 soles por persona, este ticket nos permiteel ingreso por un día; si se planea estar más tiempo se cancela 20 dólares por un periodo máximo de 30 días. En el km. 25 se observa la laguna de Llanganuco y en el Km 29, la laguna ... read more

Hallo Freunde! Das Team Mittelfranken ist inzwischen in Huaraz eingeschlagen und bereitet sich professionell auf Grosses vor. Die diesjaehrige Strategie lautet: Den Alkohol durch Wasser ersetzen, 12 Stunden am Tag schlafen und Finger weg von der Duenpfiffsuppe! Klappt bisher ganz hervorragend. Haben gestern erfolgreich die Innereien- und Fischabteilung des lokalen Marktes besichtigt, dabei fast gekotzt und anschliessend mehrere warme Mahlzeiten zu uns genommen, um schoen Substanz aufzubauen. Ansonsten haben wir heute eine kleine Wanderung auf 4500 Meter ueber Null unternommen. Leider war der DAV Summit Club und ungefaehr 4000 andere Wandervoegel auch schon da. Nachdem wir uns wie immer auf die Pole Position begeben haben, wars dann noch richtig schoen und uns gings spitze bis auf die fehlende Luft im System. So weit so gut! Spektakulaere News in Kuerze! Roemi und Floeri.... read more
