A veces me pregunto porque me voy tan lejos…cual es ese afán de querer llegar tan lejos si podría quedarme en un solo lugar y hacer una vida más estable? Siempre pienso que es porque soy más útil en los lugares donde no llegan otras personas…pero siendo sinceros, cualquiera podría hacer lo que yo hago…entonces que eso que me tiene moviéndome y moviéndome sin querer detenerme…y la respuesta parece que fuera el miedo…el miedo a que la vida se me vaya sin haber hecho nada…soy un errante en cierta forma y es lo que me mantiene cuerdo en esta vida tan extraña y loca que vivo…como dice la canción #guitarman something keeps him going miles and miles a day…to find another place to play…something keeps him drifting miles and miles away…searching for the songs to play…something keeps him moving but no one seems to know what it is that makes him go…!!! #road #highway not that high #driving #mountains #neblina #niebla #montañas #andesmountains #andesperuanos #peruvianandes #carreterasdeperu #carretera #carreterasmojadas #farfaraway #fog #foggy #foggymountains (at Santo Domingo De Capilla, Cajamarca, Peru) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce9uCWtOC9z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We love seeing #alpacas in their natural habitat! It's wonderful to see them roaming free and grazing all day where they feel most comfortable. Experience it for yourself in the Andean mountains.

Basic info on hiking the classic 10 Day Cordillera Huayhuash circuit

Swayed by beautiful pictures on the internet and the movie ‘Touching the Void’ (have you seen it? you should, it’s on Netflix and it’s great), my husband and I set off on August 23st to hike the 10 day Cordillera Huayhuash circuit in the Peruvian Andes. We chose the winter because it is supposed to be the driest time with the most consistent weather. The weather in August turned out to be quite cold in the mornings and evenings but really pleasant hiking weather during the day. We had snow on several nights. We chose to go with a guide and donkeys because we wanted a fighting chance of enjoying ourselves. Here are some of the basics. A day to day breakdown of the hike can be found here.

Distance: 97 miles (156 km)

Average Elevation: 14,100 feet (4300m)

Highest Point: Crossing the San Antonio Pass at 16,732 feet (5100m)

Typical Sleeping elevation: Between 12,795 feet - 14,100 feet (3900m-4300m)

Acclimating: We hail from Minnesota so we are what you would call lowlanders. Because of this we decided to kick off our trip in Cusco. We spent one night at Ollantaytambo (9000 ft) and the next two nights in Cusco (11,000 feet). We then made our way to Hauraz where we spent a fourth night acclimatizing at 10,000 feet. We didn’t do any acclimating hikes but we did make an effort to wander around all day everyday while we were up in the altitude. We also took prescription meds for altitude the day we left for Peru and the first two days in country. Did it help? I’m not sure. I felt the altitude the second we landed in Cusco but I felt pretty good so... maybe? Despite all this I did have a brutal headache the first day of the hike. I took some advil (bring advil) and went to bed. I was fine in the morning.

Guides: We chose Huascaran for two reasons; 1. They were reasonably priced 2. They had availability when we wanted to go. We were really happy with our choice. The point of contact, Paulino, is a wonderful man. He answered SO MANY emails that we sent him. We changed our dates 3 times and he rolled with the punches always being kind and accommodating. He also takes care of you from the moment you arrive in Hauraz to the day your trek ends when he invites you back to the office for homemade Pisco Sours and the musical stylings of the BeeGees. Our Guide, Samuel, was really great as well. Note that he spoke very little English. He was a truly phenomenal cook and a very slow, steady walker... he was just our speed. We were worried we might not get enough food on the hike but Samuel provided an abundance of food. Every morning we were woken with hot tea brought to our tent followed by a hot breakfast and a bag of snacks for the day. We had really tasty, filling lunches on the trail, a snack when we got back to camp and a two course dinner every night. You will not go hungry with this outfit. I have done some big hikes such as the Laugavegur, Annapurna, Gokyo Lakes, Julian Alps... and this was the most challenging even with our gear on the donkeys. I recommend guides if you’re considering it. Initially, to avoid a crowd, my husband and I signed on for a private guide . In time we decided to open up our trip to the general public and one other person joined us, decreasing the price significantly.

Packing: Here is what I brought on the hike:

5 pairs underwear (get hiking underwear!)

7 pairs hiking socks

3 pairs of hiking pants

3 wicking base layer tanks

1 wicking base layer t-shirt

2 sports bras (never wore them)

1 long underwear top

1 heavy long underwear bottom

1 very light fleece/jacket thing

1 heavy fleece

1 long sleeve button down hiking shirt (wore only once)

1 short sleeve button down hiking shirt (never wore it)

1 big thick hoodie for the camp (I wore this but didn’t really NEED it)

1 heavy winter coat

1 rain coat

1 winter hat

1 pair of thin gloves

1 pair of thick mittens (never wore them)

1 pair of pants to sleep in

1 pair hiking boots

1 pair tennis shoes

hiking poles

bug spray (never used)

sun block

hiking hat (wore once)

headbands/hair binders

toilet paper

tooth brush/paste

lotion

iphone

extra battery

solar charger

nice camera (sony a7rii)

tripod

1 daypack (a 24 liter pack it was a little small but it worked - this one)

1 camelbak

(my husband brought a water filter, not necessary but it was nice to have along)

Here is what I wish I had brought in addition:

a thin pair of long underwear bottoms (mine were too thick for cold morning hiking, a thin pair would have been nice)

an additional long underwear top. (I wore my thermals a lot! I could have used several pairs)

sandals would have been nice for camp

Costs:

Guide and Donkeys: $660.00 (we got this price when someone else joined our trip, it is substantially more expensive to go with just two people (around $128/day)

Entrance fee: 120 soles ($37/per person)

Fees: You pay fees for every campsite you stay at on this trek I don’t remember the exact amount but I believe it was around 300 soles ($100/per person)

Tips: The suggested amount to tip the guide and the donkey driver 300 soles ($100) for both, we gave more, these people do so much for you it’s hard to not want to give a higher amount.

For a day to day breakdown of the actual hike follow this link

A day in paradise - at 4,400m altitude enjoying views of Nevados Caraz, Artesonraju (the Paramount mountain), Paria - the "baby" here, and then the impressive Pirámide or Garcilaso on the right. Laguna Parón is the largest lake in the Huascarán National Park at just over 3km length. Leading groups here to the Huandoy viewpoint for @akilpo_trek was just an absolute pleasure...I could never tire of this place! . . . #artesonraju #paramountmountain #nevadopiramide #garcilaso #nevadoparia #nevadocaraz #lagunaparon #highaltitude #peruvianandes #ancash #peru #igersancash #igersperu #highaltitudetrekking #instatrek #trekkingperu #morrainetrekking #nevado #mountains #scramble #climbing (at Nevado Huandoy) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByF7pZoAvoe/?igshid=20mmd9irv84r
