PengembaraLieber Jab. Jetzt hab ich mir das alles mal in Ruhe angesehen. Was mir auffällt- ich hatte überall mit viel mehr touristischen Massen gerechnet - vor allem in Cousco - oder habt ihr es immer geschafft "leere" Winkel mit der camera zu erwischen? Weiterhin viele spannende sightseeings und Abenteuer. Mama
Hallo Ihr beiden Weltreisenden! Bis hierher toll! Wir haben die Fotos genossen und freuen uns mit Euch. Weiterhin tolle Eindrücke. Was macht Montezuma? (war wohl Azteke und nicht Inka). Liebe Grüße Mama und Papa [Hartmut und Ute]

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]
