Sehr schönes Bild mit euch beiden auf der Straße. sieht alles sehr trocken aus ohjemine.
Die 5000m+ (5011 um genau zu sein) hatten wir nur bei den Rainbow Mountains... Das war hart, aber insgesamt haben wir (und besonders ich) es kotz frei überstanden. Im colca canyon sind wir ja nur kurz über den Pass gefahren, das war OK. Angeblich soll es da in den Regenmonaten wohl total grün sein. [Esther]
