Amantany island

We dropped our packs at our local family's house, all the houses are made of adobe brick!  Two or three people per family .
Sue and me and Yohn stayed at the home of Oscar and Dena and their two children, Delinda and Stephanie.
Oscar led the way up the highest peak on the mountain, Pache Tata at 12,500 ft
It was a full day! Oscar left us to climb at the foot of the peak then returned for us at dark . We watched the sun set from the top and had dinner with our family, took a 30 min nap when awakened by Oscar to get us dressed for the disco! We dressed in the family's native clothes and again headed up this hill to the local dance! They even played la bamba ! We all did the local dance and had a wonderful time!
We slept in a small room with many heavy blankets as it was very cold here!
Again we awoke to Oscar at 615 with breakfast then headed out for our kayak trip! 
Tonight was our last time together as a group we enjoyed eating the local dish of guinea pig and we all expressed our appreciation to Yohn and each other for making this a trip of a lifetime!
