It was perhaps about a 45 minute trek on foot up the mountainside. There were also horses going most of the way, and we pitied those poor animals. Alejandro's dad stayed behind at the entrance... just the walk from the parking lot was enough for him. He waited seated comfortably in the shade. The mass tourism at this site has reached ridiculous levels. It was a circus. I'll write more about it in a future post.Retired Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697897155105288077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005183909843018870.post-69326718923847709142019-02-16T10:11:29.621-05:002019-02-16T10:11:29.621-05:00The reserve, Chinqua, that I went to, we rode hors...The reserve, Chinqua, that I went to, we rode horses most of the way, but when we got near 10,000 ft, we got off the horses and walked for at least 20 minutes more on volcanic soil which is like walking on silk. It was definitely treacherous and difficult. I did this about ten years ago. No way could I do it today. Hopefully all went well for ya'll.<br />Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.com
