Aloha Mokihana – so glad that you stopped by – it has been a while. The pauses in-between make the visits worthwhile, -and I’m glad I revisited your blog too! “A pattern worthy of attention” is very interesting (!) -and I enjoyed reading about your recent activities. Also, the quote you have on your site by Gary Snyder is perfect for our current age: ”Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from there.” Thank you and best wishes from the Southern parts of South America.

I marvel at your stamina, and love how you connected with a perfect family to wander with. Best of wishes from the woods of this Salish Isle! Mokihana

Hello Diana, it’s good to hear from you – and thank you for joining me on some of my trails!
Having visited the Eco Shrine I would consider your location to be exotic and thought-provoking too… 🙂
In that sense we are both fortunate to be exposed to nature.
I’m happy to share my experience and I really appreciate your feedback!

Best wishes,
J.J.

Agreed, Josh! The exhilaration comes not only from the beautiful views, but from the strenuousness and being rewarded for your efforts 🙂 .

Very glad you enjoyed the pictures, Debra! Yes, those mountains are seriously steep, no jokes! Good that you mention elevation – I will add them to photos (where possible). The trail starts at around 2570m on Day 1 and on Day 2 ascends to the highest point on the trail at 4200m. It drops to around 3900m on Day 3 and on Day 4 it drops to 2680 at Machu Piccu. Being out of breath was the name of the game, but it was very conducive towards improving mental stamina! More in Part 2.

Seems like you’d have to be in pretty good shape to make that climb. The landscaping was beautiful on the Llactapata photo and the rainbow must have been a beautiful site. Thanks for sharing – all beautiful. Elevation? I’m out of breath just looking.
