THE ANCIENT CITY - CIUDAD PERDIDA
It is the fourth day of our trek through the Sierra Nevada rainforest. We arrived at the last camp on the trail late yesterday morning and the rain started just after lunch. We delay the final climb to the site until the next morning when the rain will have stopped and the sun will be out. This deep in the mountains, we have had rain every afternoon. It is also the rainy season, so the rain starts earlier and lasts longer. Last night it rained until well past midnight.
We hike for 30 minutes to get to the base of the steps leading up to the site. 1200 stone steps up. Straight up. It's incredible to think these stones have been in place for more than 500 years.
We arrive to the site. I post some pictures here and in the next and final installment I will provide commentary. Enjoy the photos. Words cannot describe what it was like to be there and see this incredible place.
