The Cajas - Finally!

Yesterday we went hiking in the Cajas for the first time.  We drove up there on Saturday, but there was snow on the ground, we weren't dressed properly, it was raining and I had forgotten my camera.  So, we gathered up Chelsea, Anaya and Gi and headed up bright and early this morning.  It was the perfect day for hiking.  Cloud cover so that we didn't get too hot and a nice breeze.  We were worried about being cold, so we were really prepared.  Luckily we didn't need the clothes we brought and were actually hot and a bit sweaty.  The Cajas have 176 water concentrations, one of the largest water concentrations in the world.  Enjoy the pictures.

Uh oh, llamas on the road.

The girls led us the whole time.  They were talking
and walking and just moseying on.  The boys?  Now
they were another matter.  Can you say whiners?



 


Can you find everybody?  The girls are way ahead.


 

Paper Trees or Quinoa Trees.








A nice spot to rest after a long hike.
