We got our glacier fix in the Cordilla Blancas on the famous Santa Cruz Trek. It was reccomended that we rent a mule and give ourselves four days so we rented equitment for 3 days and threw our gear on our backs. On the second day we faced, after taking a detour and performing a NOLS river crossing, the hill. So we set up our stove and made some weak soup before we committed trekking sacrilidge-we plugged in to some music. Dancing up to great heights we realized when we reached the top why hikers dont listen to music. It was that perfect mountain quiet distubed only by the cracking of ice.
A whopping 20 hours of bus driving later we are in Mancora, at the beach near Ecuador.
