So the first is of Tortugas, near Casma. Beautiful. Second is my new home, Huraz. It has been raining quite a bit and I think I need to invest in a hat and or scarf. I set myself a trek tomorrow for 4 days. Should be beauiful :) I want to do another one that will only be for 2 days but it is gnarley and advised I wait until afterwards just for acclimizing reasons. We camp at 5k+ ... maybe. Not sure if I need to spend the money for it or not yet.... we will see.
Yesterday I went to Chavin, which was AMAZING but I got the sweat scared out of me pretty quickly. The tour group was something like 20 people and I ended up being the last one seeing all the sites. I noticed that almost everyone was done looking and heading to the bus. I had 1 last underground tunnel to explore so I went solo. It was nice there no one was in my pictures, I wandered around, thought how you could get lost in the begining, started to head back and the lights flickered. I think this is when my heart stoped. Until a few seconds later when the lights went out completly. I immediatly started to sweat. Good times. I started to yell :) ¡Necisito Ayuda! ¿Hola? I hollored for a while and felt my way towards a direction I though was right. The tunel is made out of stone for a 5ft person. I hollored for a while more and started to hear people. I went towards that direction and here I am! I was scared to say the least. They didn´t understand why I was in there if it was dark and I explained it wasn´t when I first started! Im eating more carrots.
What part of "Be Safe" did you not understand?? Flash light for the next set of tunnels? Beautiful pictures, keep them coming. Cold and rainy here in San Diego. Enjoy girl.
ReplyDeleteOMG... im roflmao!! If where anyone else i wouldn't believe it!! Love ya keep bloggin and be safe.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful there, Brina. Great photos! So happy you didn't have to spend the night in a random cave. You could be featured on that I CAN'T BELIVE I'M ALIVE show. And didn't you bring your head lamp to S America? Wear it! Always. Even in the day.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you made it out and it sounds like your spanish is improving! Mike's rigt about a flash light, worse case, use the flash on your camara.
ReplyDeleteSunny and cold here at home. Nice photos and have fun on your 5 day trek, remember stay off the rocky edges of clifs!
It was during the day and I didn´t know I would be hacking it underground! If I figured on that I would have brought some kindling, matches and a guinea pig ( a speciality here). & yes, I do have my head lamp, and no Moondance, I will not wear it during the day :)
