You Only Live Once Don't let your dreams be dreams!

1st week of the dream come true!

Same as home! Evian water bottle! :-)
Don't forget though that Cordillera Blanca is even higher than the Alps, elevation of the highest mountain here is 6768 m- 22205 ft.

Same as home! Evian water bottle! :-) Don't forget though that Cordillera Blanca is even higher than the Alps, elevation of the highest mountain here is 6768 m- 22205 ft.

We stayed in Caraz, a small town in the Cordillera Blanca.
Elevation 2256 m - 7402 ft. It's the beginning of the altitude sickness, we didn't plan enough time to acclimatize. :-( that's why we are drinking coca leaves tea everyday and several times per day but it didn't seem to go away.

We hiked around the Laguna Paron (4155 m - 13632 ft). We took transportation from Caraz at 2000 m to la Laguna Paron at 4000 m. We weren't acclimatized, we shouldn't have done it. We had and still have headaches and feel so tired. :-(
