| Los Nevados only
got electricity a few years ago, but was still more developed than some places I visited
in the Philippines. It is about a five hour walk from where one gets off the
telerifico (rope way), and spending one night there is highly recommended. The isolation
has made some of the locals crazy, and observing the village activity was better than
watching Monty Python. |
The main street in Los Nevados was one of
the steepest streets I have ever seen, but since there really is not anything on either
side of the street, walking up and down it really does not make much sense. |
I just had to
include a picture of a really charming kid who was extremely interested in telling us
about the area. Sitting behind him is Siri, a Norwegian girl travelling with her
boyfriend, Espen. Additionally, I enjoyed the company of Klaudie, Pius and David. The trip
back down to Merida is done by car, but be warned; It is a near-death-experience! |
