I survived!!

I came back from my trakking trip to the Colca Canyon yesterday. Everything was amazing... but at the same time very demanding. Totally during the 3 days we walked 25 Km (up and down) in very difficult paths! The first day we walked down for 3 hours to the bottom of the canyon and we stayed in one oasis... with pools, palm trees... There was no electricity, no phones, no mobil phones signal... nothing, just water and toillet. We slept in real bamboo huts. The next day we walked (up and down) for other 3 hours to an amazing place in the middle of no where, to an hostel called Llauar. There was only one other turist there, a french lady. In that place we could relax in a termal baths, the ideal for our poor muscles. At dinner the guides performed for us the traditional indian dance. Next morning we wake up at 2:30 am and walked up for more than 4 hours... most of them at night! Then I coul see one of the most amazing sunrises I've ever seen!! At that place the sky is really blue and the stars shine more than ever.
You can imagine how my legs are now... but everything was really worthy!
I hope to put here tomorrow the pictures and then you will see how amazing was everything!!
ONCE MORE THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS!!!

Vou querer saber como correram as aulas depois de uma estafa tão grande no fim de semana! ;-)
Mas pelo que tu descreveste, parece que descobriste o paraíso! :-) Eu bem dizia que depois da América do Sul, nada vai voltar a ser como dantes... Farewell Eastern Europe!
Beijos,
