... stumbled upon the body of a 500-year-old Incan girl lying in the ice. A recent eruption of a nearby volcano had unearthed her remains, which fell a ways down the side of the mountain. She had been buried and encapsulated in ice for all but a few weeks since her death, making her body incredibly well preserved. <br><br>They were able to conclude that she had actually been the victim of a sacrifice, having been groomed for her fate since birth.

... have made a stand there and then but we were still under the illusion that we had an experienced and knowledgable guide. Hindsight however is a wonderful thing especially when making decisions at high altitude.<br><br>Eventually, "the snails" completed the two traverses over steep terrain and managed a final scramble up a steep scree slope to reach the summit. <br><br>As mentioned above, Chachani is a strange mountain in that even though it is over 6,000m it has large areas, including ...

... to wait on so we had to go to the only café which meant spending a fortune so we could stay in there for as long as possible. The only positive was the wifi which we took full advantage of and a comical Irish guy who was the only other English speaking person on our flight!

The hotel was only a 5 minute walk away but Arequipa is designed in blocks, just like Milton Keynes, but nicer. Every roadlooks the same. We walked and walked.
