Peru from the misty coast to the sunny mountains
After surfing the misty and cold coast of central Peru we arrived in the sunny mountains of the Cordillera Blanca. Big bummer and little frustrating for us: after the shipping company that has our big snowbag back in Innsbruck ready to go and filled with everything we would need for our snow adventure here, doesnt get the go from peruvian customs, we are left here in this breathtaking surrounding of the Cordillera Blanca in the peruvian Andes with not more than our beach-camping stuff and our surfboards. Nevertheless we will try to borrow what we need to survive a several day trip into the mountains to get at least out there. We will not get to climb and ride any of the up to 6800m high peaks but at least we will get up to around 5000m and have a closer look to the white beauties.
