CIUDAD PERDIDA TREK
Read moreIt takes 4 to 6 days walking through the jungle for about fifty kilometers round. A demanding excursion that requires a good physical condition but is not extreme either. In general, we do it in 5 days, we walk only 4 hours in the morning, the rest of the day is relaxing in the refreshing rivers or in the hammock. Life in the community encourages encounters with other travelers, we eat the right courtesy in a jovial and international atmosphere, and the cooks sometimes make miracles. Walking itself is just as spectacular as the archeological site. By surveying the muddy trails, we discover the vegetal world of the rainy tropical selve, with its countless epiphytic plants and centenary trees, waterfalls and basins where swimming is swimming, a rocky river that needs to be crossed several times on the head or in local cable car (an open box open) in wood…), and these endless stairs, 1,200 steps, to reach the site! We've been dreaming for three or four days walking in the wetland of 85% humidity. Mosquito bites and other insects, light bulbs and fries are quickly forgotten in the hammock. In the early morning, after an hour to climb a more than millennium staircase, through taguas and trees, we reached the gazed terraces where the huts of the inhabitants were once. The view of the steep mountains is enchanting. The energy of this sacred site is deeply felt, which inspires great humility and silence.
The return to "civilization" is a long descent from one day or two, again rivers to cross, snakes to avoid, and clothes always soaked… But walkers are happy and soothing, filled with this extraordinary adventure. In addition to the personal challenge, this trek is both a meeting with the pre-Columbian history and a look at the contemporary lifestyle of the peoples of the Sierra. They take their role as guardian of the Mother Earth very seriously, too often malled by the «little brothers» of the Western world…
