"It is through travel that we meet and understand other people and at this time, when there is so much anger and misunderstanding in the world, travel is more important than it has ever been." - Tony Wheeler, 2005-Lonely Planet

More photos from Huaran and surrounds

August 27th 2008 06:54
Thought I'd share some more photos of Huaran and surrounds. As mentioned in the previous post, Huaran is a small village community in need of visitors to generate local income. We've had hte previledge to visit Cancha Cancha, another community three hours trek from Huaran up the mountain. We have nothing like it in Australia and besides meeting the people and play with the children, the scenery that we were treated to on the journey was just as unforgetable.

Start of the trek
Slowly trekking through the bushes and the mountain


Llamas
Meeting up with some locals along the way....


River crossing
Crossing a make-shift bridge


Approaching the village
Approaching the village where it's around 3600m in altitude and mountains still rise up in the distance


At the village
Arriving at the Cancha Cancha community


Have I convinced you?

You sure have, Amy, guess the rent there would be quite cheap, eh?

I think you need to just build your own houses and try to maintain it - I do believe they "rent" the land from the government but not sure how that works...
