So 2 days later we are all heading out to this villiage about 4hrs away. Little did we know that it would be the guide/instructors first time.
After the nice 4 hrs drive stuffed in a little van, we make it to this villiage and start climbing the mountain. Now this appears to be a simple climb but may I mention we are like 3 billion times higher in altitude than Canada. It was the hardest hike of my life! I could not breathe most of the hike, and I was the one of the people more fit.
After making it about half the way up, we hear yelling so we turn around and one of the Peruvians is telling us we are going the wrong way, ok so that would seem normal, but, its not because we are following the guy who is going to drop us over the edge with our lives in his hands!
So if you ever feeling like its a good idea to kill yourself, or tempt fate, go repelling in a 3rd world country with a guide that has never brought a group before, and does not speak English (and you don't speak Spanish). After you do that, we still beat you because our guide also took over from a different guide that quit because there was a "bad accident" and he walked away from the repelling and gave it to our guide. Ya it was deadly!

I'm the white dot against the rock near the middle |
Just as I'm walking over. I was the first one to go and at this point, no one really knows if the ropes are really set up right. p.s. nice bike helmet eh? |
This will give you a little idea on how high this cliff is, but then again, it does not do it justice. |
Heres a pretty good one but theres a problem, I can not rotate it because I'm not that smart. |
So glad you guys didn't die!! I wish I was there to do that - repelling is awesome and it has been way to lone!
