Llama Trek

I´m sorry if I sound cliche, but the llama trek was the most amazing experience of my life. We hiked up to 14,500ft in the Andes Mountains, llamas along side us the whole way. It was definitly the hardest thing I´ve ever done physically, but the feeling of accomplishment is priceless. I´ve never been to or even seen anything more gorgeous in my life. We made it up to our summit in one day, but we stopped every like 150ft because the air is so thin and you really can´t breath. I breathed as though I had just ran 3 miles as fast as i could, for 24 hours straight. Your feet feel like they weigh 20 pounds, and parts of your body start to tingle and then go numb. Because its the dry season here, we were told we would see no snow, only snowcapped mountains. But when we got to the summit, Pancho points out that he sees rain coming. Within 10 minutes a full on blizzard started. Because of how unsafe it would be for us to get stuck up there in the snow, we literally ran down the other side of the mountain. We went from 14,500ft to 13,000ft in 45 minutes. That made almost everyone extremely sick. But I, beleive it or not, did not get sick at all. That night we stayed in a schoolhouse in a tiny little thatched roof village. The 9 of us all slept on top of eachother breathing really heavy and trying to stay warm. Some people got up to puke, alot of people barely slept because they felt horrible or were too cold.... I slept 8 hours and felt amazing the next day. I still cant beleive that I was physically able to handle this and I am extremely proud of myself. I think my heart and lungs are probably the strongest theyve ever been.
The next morning no one except me was eating alot, and I mean, I ate alot alot... pancho tells me YOU EAT GOOD. I said, gracias pancho... me gusta comida.
On the way home from the trek we stopped at hot springs and they were amazing. I´m tired of writing now. All in all, we hiked in the Andes, we rock.
