I could spend the rest of my days here..paradise

It is now 6:03 AM and we have made it through the night...the mosquito netting had a few holes and this morning we are feeling the many many meals these little insects really had. Although the snakes and jaguars never made it into the hut my imagination last night could not help but create a paranoia that forced me to sleep with an open knife and two bottles of mase...just in case...there would have been a bloody and blind jaguar running around the jungle today had they tried anything on us last night!!

The sun is now eating away at the dense fog that covered this entire mountain side last night. It is incredible how the rolling mountains overcome with huge trees and vegetation of all kinds is now visible...little by little and wherever the sun's beam penetrates, the jungle mountain is cleared of the fog to leave only a path of mountain side open for all to see in awe...

It is nearly impossible to put into words how sureal this time is...doing it justice with pictures and video is only a small portion since so much more is only felt with the sense of smell and the unedited version of nature's sounds along with the feeling of the damp morning fog running across these tremendous mountain sides... YOU all must come to see this relatively unspoiled place.

Most people have heard of Machu Picchu but the difference here lies in the simple fact that it is so unkown to the rest of the world and you can be here and have the place to yourself...seriously compare 2000-3000 daily visitors in Machu Picchu TO only 20 or 30 daily visitors at the Ciudad Perdida.

Paula and I have now done both...Ciudad Perdida is the ultimate experience..



Today we hike another 6 hours but is steeper than any of the past 5-6 days...the battery on this blackberry is dying so I think the next writing will occur on paper and I will transfer it to our blog once we get back to modern civilization...to be honest I prefer this type of civilization...maybe one day we buy a place up here and spend our days and night in utter paradise.
