Choro Trek

From La Paz I took the Choro Trek: 3 days in Cordilliera Yunga. Our group consisted of 2 Israeli couples, me, our guide/cook and a porter. Sleeping in tents and cooking from what the porter had in the bag. We started at the altitude of 4900 m asl descending all the way to our first camping at 2800m. The first night was fxx extremely cold and I really envied the couples. Socond day we walked all together almost 9 hours, first half descending on the wet and slippery stones. At the end of the day our calves were killing us and I wondered: "am I stupid or what? paying for getting fxx tired. and Machu Pichu is waiting, scary". Socnd night was much better. But of course all together the trek was absolutelly beautiful! It gave us chance to get away from tourist. We met very few trekkers on our way, many llamas and mules or donkeys (don´t know what`s the difference) and few solitary settlements and few solitary houses build of stone and hay. I still can´t stop wondering how this people live in the middle of nowhere with very little signs and help of civilisations. I will upload the pics soon so you can see the beauty of mountains. Wiciu, jak tak szlam to przypomnialo mi sie jak chodzilismy po polskich gorach. W deszczu i jak pilismy wino - oczywiscie najlepsze na swiecie z rodzynek. Teraz to juz bym sie nie bala stromych gor!
