Llacanora

Llacanora is a waterfall place. I thought it was one of my best 3 trips! I loved it! Here it all is.

On almost all of our trip, weird teens always say, "Oh, Mira! Gringos! Un foto, por favor." Translation: "Oh, look! Gringos! (that's what they call whites) A picture, please." I really don't like it.

This is the stream that the waterfalls produce. We followed it the whole way.

Llacanora was like U.S.A. whole way though. Mountain, rural, wetlands, but mostly mountains. I MISS HOME! :( 

Family picture, me picture. Zoom out, zoom in. This is the first waterfall. I loved it.

We found this gigantic rock. I thought it was a great view and a great rock, so I decided to take a picture.

This is the second waterfall. It is is a lot free-er than the other one. I loved feeling the mist. 

Near the second waterfall lake, there was this island of rocks. Kai, Lily, and I went to the island and practiced skipping rocks.

After the second waterfall, we went up this barren hill to see where the waterfall started. I have a paragraph that I wrote about it for school. Here it is.

Llacanora Mountain    

     Llacanora (ya-ca-nor-ah) is a beautiful place in Peru. There are waterfalls there. Once, my family went there. After we got to the second waterfall, we wanted to see where the source of it was. We went up a trail. It was very muddy, and on the sloped trail, there were stone stairs instead of a dirt trail like you would expect. We climbed up, and then we went onto a hill with no trails. The hill looked like it had been in a fire, but since it was not far from the stream the waterfall created, it must've not been possible. The many trees were barren, and leaves were darkly colored. The other side of the stream, though, was green with moss and grass. We walked up the hill, and there was a little trail bordered with rocks. It was for water to go down, so it could join with the stream. We continued up that path. It was a long path, and sometimes we had to jump over trickles of water or a rock that was in the way. The path was zig-zaggy and long. The trail ended at a very steep and very high cliff. Oh, and the view from the cliff was beautiful! I felt like I was part of the mountain, and it was giving me it's favorite thing. Off to the right, there was the stream we had been following for quite a long time, bordered with trees, and way down below us was a channel. Then, another cliff started, which was steep and high, like ours. On the other cliff, though, were a few caves covered in moss and grass. To the left, the channel continued, giving way for a wonderful view of a thick stream traveling into the beautiful blue mountains. We sure didn't find the starting point of that waterfall, but I think we found something worthwhile!

Here is the cliff we found. I LOVED it!

I LOVED IT! 

After the cliff, Kai found a water pipe that had a hole in it. There were lots of bags tied next to the hole. It looked like people had tried to fix it before. We took a bag and tied it on anyway. It took a few minutes, but he got it.

On our way to get a combi home, we saw this house. That mototaxi (that's what we call those 3-wheel cars) is someone's who helps with El Bichito! Why was it there? And that spiral staircase didn't have boards in it.

This is the restaurant we went to. We tried all the dishes. I liked the beef jerky stuff. (I rarely like meat at all! That was surprising to my brothers.)

2nd waterfall on our way down. I mastered climbing down that rock. 

On our way down, we ran into the youth in our church. Let's see... who are they?

Come here! You need to see it for yourselves!
