To Amacueca and back...



So, we left at 5:00AM towards Amacueca. It was the funniest thing hiking in the dark. I have never done that.  We did have flashlights and all, but there wasn't really any need for them just to move out of the way for passing cars. Like about 5:45AM we arrived to the entrance to the sierra. We wen't hiking through the woods in the dark.





At about 7:15AM there was enough light so I could take this video. We've been hiking for about 2 hours now.



We stopped at about 8:30AM to take a quick rest. There I had an orange and an apple and drank some very much needed water. The climate was changing here so I took off my thermals and my vest. I later put on my vest again because of it's very handy pockets.



We started decent at about 9:30AM. The view from up above, down to the rest of the place was incredible. Once we were down a bit more it started to get even more hot and arid. The pine forest changed into cacti and hot dirt.





We got there at a good time at about 11:00AM, it was scheduled that we would arrive in the afternoon. But we got there safe and sound but tired.

Here are more pictures of the hike.



Resting in the mountains


It's 8:25 and we have been resting for about 20min. The forest is so beautiful I don't want to go back.
