Day 25 Friday March 29th Huarez (War-As)


We go to the hostel that Sarah and Ryan stayed in last year-Churup. We have to take a dorm room the first night but we are alone anyway. Fried eggs and bacon for breakfast, this is a friendly place and we like it. We take a taxi to Puente Santa Cruz and then walk the steep 7km up to Laguna Willcacocha. Wonderful (but exhausting, especially at this altitude) hike and we meet and talk to the locals as best we can. Some speak only Chechuan (sp?) and not Spanish and certainly not English but we do the best we can with sigh language. They still plow the old-fashioned way up here-behind two oxen.
We have dinner by the fire at CafĂ© Andino (recommended by Sarah and Ryan) and like it there and get into a good conversation with a Peruvian couple on vacation here.
