Yesterday I hiked with a very light backpack from Madrigal to the small city of Chivay where I do my market shopping. There are small vans that do this route, I just felt the need to see, smell, and feel the journey. Less than 20 years ago (closer to 10, I think) people made this hike by donkey or by foot. I wanted to feel it... and I wanted a work out. The hike was about 15 miles with a slight inclination in altitude (uphill), it took me 5 hours and about 4 blisters to get into the city.
This is probably the first time I have felt comfortable enough to pull out my camera and take pictures because there was no one around.
So, this, ladies and gentlemen, is where I live:
Madrigal
