Hola!
White water rafting was immense - we went to the rio urumbamba and rafted on rapids graded 2-4 which was quite intense for a beginners run! the river was really wild and 3 people got caught in an undertow which was quite scary but they were successfully recused thankfully! Went out with the guides in the evening and ended up in a great local peruvian club which are surprisingly hard to find! then rocked on to a house party at theirs!
The Salkantay Trek was fabulous - 5 days of hard core treking with the culmination in machupichuu! Salkantay mountain was 4500m which required lots of coca leaves and the base camp was absolutely freezing - minus degrees and i slept in all my alpaca! got eaten alive by sand flies which leave horrible marks in the hot springs! but was worth it to soak my muscles and drink cubre libre with hot argentinians! danced salsa around a campfire in the evening and then got up at 3 to hike to machupichuu-those stairs are an absolute killer! also climbed wanupichuu, the mountain on the site, which was gorgeous - i think i may be conquering my fear of heights now!
Halloween or noche de brujes last night and i got dressed up as a devil and hit cusco with the some of the little kids from the school! its a massive holiday here - then hit a salsatecha and danced the night away to cumbia and reggaeton!
I lost my phone somewhere and i think it is officially gone but it is on pay as you go and i think most of my numbers are backed up at home so its ok. Just need to get a new one when i get back!
Off round southern peru now and will be in bolivia in a week! bring it on! xxxxxxxx
