I-Ascent
Ngemva kokuhamba edolobheni elihle kakhulu laseCusco ngomzila, ngifika eLarres, igama legama lomzila. Ukufika kwami kwenzeka ekupheleni kosuku lokukhethwa: Idolobhana lasezintabeni lalivame kakhulu kunokujwayelekile, njengoba izixuku zabantu beza zikhukhula ukuze zivotele umengameli wasePeru olandelayo. Ukulala kweloli kulala, imindeni ichithelwa esuka emaphandleni aseduze. Njengoba izakhamuzi zazibuthene emakethe amaningi angaphandle edolobheni, kwakukhona umkhosi ovusa amadlingozi, owavuswa yi-cho de jora, i-corn-brewed corn beer eyadliwa kakhulu e-Andes.
Ngishiya ama-Lares, ngadabula uhlaka olumile, oluncane entabeni ukuze ngimise isidlo sasemini eQuelquena Valley, izwe elihlanganisa uLares neHuacahuasi Valley. Ngenkathi kulesi sikhombi se-bucolic, owesifazane osemusha wayelungisa umhlambi wezimvu, ngokucophelela ahlambalaza izilwane, eqinisekisa ukuthi uzozigcina enqabeni yakhe enqunyiwe. Ngimisa ngesidlo sakusihlwa esiseduzane: Nginezintaba ezizungezile nxazonke, kwakulula ukuzizwa ngingenasiphelo esimweni esingenamkhawulo, okwenza kube nzima ukucabanga nganoma yini enye ngaphandle kwalokho okwakukhona ngaphambi kwami.
Ngemva kokuphumula okwanele ngaphansi kwelanga lasePeru, uhambo oluya eHuacahuasi Lodge lwaqala. Ilayisha up iphakethe lami, ngaqala ukuhamba ngendlela encane ngaphezu kweHuacahuasi Pass, ukuthola ukufinyelela kwe-panoramic ekudaluleni sonke isigodi, ngaphezu kwamaphesenti angu-12,595 ngaphezu kolwandle. Kwakuyisimo esishayelayo, cishe uhlaza okwedlulele, ngaphandle kwamachashazi amhlophe avamile, emele izimvu ezimvu esigodini.
Ukuphuma
Ngesinye isikhathi esedlula phambili, ngaqala ukwehla kwami kwesinye sezigcawu ezinhle kunazo zonke engake ngibhekana nazo: Ukuqhathanisa ama-patches we-moraine e-mint-ephihliwe, ngifinyelele eHuacahuasi Valley, imfihlo egcinwe kakhulu ePeru. Yilapho lapho izintaba ziba khona onkulunkulu futhi umoya uphawula; indawo lapho indalo ibusa khona. Uma uhlala kuleli zwe elincane, kulula ukuzizwa uncane. Odade ababili bangidlulisela lapho ngifika, ngithatha isikhathi sokuzwakalisa ukuzwa lapho behlela umhlambi wamahhashi ezindaweni eziphakeme. Kungomzuzwana ongafinyelelwa kuphela kwi-Adventure yeLares, ebeka abahambahamba emizaneni yendawo engenawo umqondo wokuphila.
Ngifika eHuacahuasi Lodge njengoba imfucuza iqala ukugqoka yonke isigodi, ihlasele indawo ehlelekile ehlanganisa izimpophoma eziningi. Ngangiphephela emkhunjini wami wangaphandle ekamelweni lami lokuphumula, ngiphumule emgodini njengombhoxo owawuzungeza indawo yokulala. Njengoba ubuqiniso bukaPeru buvuleka phambi kwamehlo ami, umsindo ozwakalayo kuphela engangiwuzwa wawuwukuphuza kwamanzi okufinyelela phansi.
Ngisuka ekuseni ngakusasa ukuhlola isigodi, ngahamba nomqondisi wami kanye nabanye abahambahambayo ukubona izimpophoma ezizungezile ngabanye. Njengoba sasihamba emgwaqeni, sadlula isethi yamakhaya epulazi lapho abantu bezimvu namaLlama bedla khona.
Kule ndawo epulazini yesifundazwe, izakhamuzi zitholela ukuphila kwazo kusukela ezilwaneni nasezintabeni ezihlala endaweni, okwenza isinyathelo ngasinye sibe yinkimbinkimbi, ngoba lokhu kuyimindeni yabantu abathile imindeni yabo ikhathalele leli zwe iminyaka eyizinkulungwane.
Njengoba ngisondelene nemifula, iphakethe lezinja laqala ukulandela. Bahlanganisana nama-alpaca nama-llamas agcwalisa ukukhanya, ngokuzikhandla ukuxhumana njengoba benakho iminyaka. Lapho ngikhuphuka ngasentabeni, ngangihamba ngendleleni egcwele amatshe adilikayo, ikakhulukazi amatshe kanye namaminithi amaminerali, aphuma ezintabeni njengoba iminyaka idlula. Ngenxa yalokhu, izwe linomthelela oqhubekayo, ongenakuphela, okwenza kube injabulo ukuwela izwe elinemininingwane engokomoya.
Njengoba umoya wawushaya ubuso bami, umthamo womoya omusha wase-Andean wagcwalisa umzimba wami.
Ezweni elikhulu kakhulu futhi elibi kakhulu, kulula ukuzizwa njengedshaza ebalazweni, okuyinto umuzwa engikhule ukuba ngifise kakhulu lapho ngihamba. Njengoba umoya wadala iphakethe nxazonke, kungaleso sikhathi ngikhumbula ukubaluleka kokuthi kungani sihamba. Sihamba ukuzwa okuthile, noma yini, ukuxhuma nathi emhlabeni osizungezile. Njengomthwebuli wezithombe, ngivame ukuhlala ngekhamera yami yekhamera, futhi kuphela lapho ngizikhumbuza ukuthi ngibheke phezulu ngiyibona ngempela umhlaba njengemvelo ehlosiwe. Nakuba ngingasoze ngiyeke ukubhala izwe elimangalisayo esiyibiza ekhaya, ngithemba ukuletha ingqondo engayithola ePeru ekuphileni kwami kwansuku zonke.
