OK OK, I know that I'm late, but...
ok, first story is about the trip to Rupac, which was one month ago :)
To reach Rupac (3400m) first we had to stay over in the village without people - Pampas. Old houses without floor, but with good doors, empty school, deserted "main square" and a close church. A sky full of stars, the scenery perfect for the horror movie, especially that we arrived there at 1am.
After a quick research we decided to stay in the old school, the wood floor seemed quite stable and light and even more special atmosphere were given by candles. Unfortunately all stories about ghosts, demons, devils and all other creatures which can show up just in that moment where destroyed by four engineering brains, so the night was warm and calm.
Real hiking started the following day. Everything was perfect except one thing - huge flies everywhere. But on the other hand it was a perfect motivation to go up and up - it was just impossible to stop and rest. Fortunately our camp was flies-free :)
Ruins on Rupac were really impressive. Pre-Incas building, but some of them in better conditions than the ones in Pampas. Always unfailing Pamela told us legends and stories and explained everything.
Evening, a bonfire, playing "the mafia", looking for the lucky star and cold like hell (hmm not sure it there is cold in hell, but whatever). Almost perfect night, but... OF COURSE there is a but! I dislocated the finger. How? no idea - during sleep, even if it sounds ridiculous. (not so bad at the end - I got 7 days free for that :D)
Sleepy morning, beautiful sunrise and time to come back. The best moment was in the waterfall. Even freezing "shower" was perfect after 3 days without water ;)
BALANCE
around 50 bites, 10 bruises, a sunburn and a dislocated finger vs. amazing views, pre-Incas ruins, a conder, lovely waterfall and perfect people
Clearly fantastic weekend
