Ola once again, this time from a lovely cafe in Huaraz. We arrived on Sunday 31st May after an overnight journey from Lima. Huaraz is the outdoor capital of Peru, and probably South America. We have met loads and loads of hardcore climbing dudes (ie the type of people who attempt everest are all here). This is the entry point to the Cordillera Blanca, the 2nd highest mountain range in the world (... Read Full Entry

hey you guys, loved this blog entry of the santa cruz trek. It looks so beautiful there. Lee in the pic that you and neil have your backs turned to the camera and are staring at the mountain - is that the big bad boy that joe simpson climbed?? PS I see you may have fallen victim to developing a little fetish for all the beauty peru/bolivian hats! Txx

Hey T
The Mountain we're staring at is/was considered to be the most beautiful mountain (Alpaymayo) in the world as voted by the World Mountaineering Association (back in 1966!!). The Joe Simpson Mountain is in not in the Santa Cruz trek afterall but in a Huayhush, or something like that - a 9 day trek which we simply weren't hardcore enough for. However, we did get to see the Mountain used in Paramount pictures (the mt that comes on before some films start), awesome. Would have loved to stayed longer in Huaraz coz there's some cracker treks to do and our hostel was fab. Lauren, there are just too many hats dude, I can't cope, I love them all! Am now in surfer's paradise, Mancora, and am trying not to buy anything, just love all the surfers shorts etc. But saving myself for vintage shops in BA, it's my b'day, def buying something there! Love ya. xxx
