Vicuņa, hiking the hills

Trail Detail

Home
These photos are mostly my way of remembering the trails that I'm so fond of.  So this kind of detail may get to be a bit much for you.  Feel free to hit the 'back' button (but you knew that)

 But if you decide to come along, let's stride out!

 

 

 

This is along the route of my favorite trail, which I hiked numerous times

 

 

 

 

The valley vista is always present

 

 

 

 

Again, this trail is where I encountered Manuel

 

 

 

 

And looking back a bit

 

 

 

 

 

Now, following the route that Manuel came from

 

 

 

 

This switchback was one of my favorite spots

Between two folds in the hills, blocked from valley view, I did vigorous vocal exercises

 

 

 

Near the summit of this trail, a panel that rotated, tracking with the sun

Dunno its function

 

 

 

 

Stopping for a typical lunch of bread, avocado, goat cheese, and tomato

 

 

 

 

If goat cheese is pure white, I suppose these are goat turds, but I'm not sure of that

 

 

 

 

After hiking the heights, here's one descent that I'm very fond of

 

 

 

 

In the middle distance here is a field where grapes are drying

 

 

 

Vicuņa and surroundings are a great area for the grape used in making Pisco, a brandy-like liquor
