La Paz - El Choro Inka Trail

Spent the last two days walking over an old Inka road, 55 km. from La Cumbre in La Paz to el Cheiro. Tiring, hard, huge blisters, but definetely cool stuff:

A Panoramic view of La Cumbre, at 5300 meters over sea level:

Beginning of the Inka track:

 Some old aymara constructions:

 A herd of llamas:

 One part of the track very well preserved:

 The first day we walked down 2900 vertical meters, from 5300 to 2400, so the landscape changed a lot:

My small bagpack, esential:

Dried meet, typical Inka, still done nowadays:

An aymara cemetery:

 The Choro river:

Abel, a kid living on the place were we camped to sleep, with Chancho:

 Me with Chancho (I think is the first time in his life that Abel used a photo camera):

Next to the tent where I slept:

We crossed many bridges:

 The weather was lovely, so was the view:

The houses at San Francisco, just before the Cuesta del Diablo (Devil's steep):

Nice flower:

 Hanging bridges everywhere:

Do I look tired? Nooooo...:

 Another hanging bridge:

With Tamiji Hanamura, a famous 105 year old japanes who lives at the track:

Not so far from el Cherio:

Old aymara houses eaten by the jungle:

 

Some condors probably watching a dead animal:

The condors are not easy to see, at least in Bolivia (from what everybody told me), but I guess I was lucky with that. Will stay for some days in La Paz, trying to rest body and mind.
