entry description
This summer break I traveled to Peru by myself to hike one of the sacred mountain in Andes called Ausangate. There are few local people living around this mountain. They speak Quechua which is Andean language. It's very difficult to live there. There is only electricity from soler panel. There are no trees for making fire and it is very cold. They make money selling hikers their handmade craft made of Alpaca. Ausangate is very special and important for their community and every year people around Andes come visit here for special event.back to gallery
