Well tomorrow morning I will be heading out into the Cordillera Blanca to climb some mountains. Besides a slight sinus cold I picked up in the jungle, I´m feeling great and I´m looking forward to heading up even higher into the Andes.

I´ve included my itinerary below with specific dates. Needless to say there won´t be any more posts for a while. I still have some catching up to do and I want to get my Inca Trail post up as soon as possible.

Hopefully when I return to Huaraz I´ll be posting some photos of me standing on the summit of Chopicalqui.
