\"Humantay<\/a>

Humantay lake just for me<\/p><\/div>\n

The food is delicious. We\u2019re all in a warm, cozy dining hall made of wood. It\u2019s incredible how Alex\u2019s good mood never falls. In fact, they called me out for having separated from the group. My loss caused many things in the tour to become disorganized, but Alex, I don\u2019t know how, has fixed things so that I can go back to Cusco<\/strong><\/a> the next day. The food, I repeat, is delicious and makes me forget any worry I have. It even makes me laugh a bit about what happened. They\u2019ve served us delicious dishes: stuffed trout, scrambled eggs, vegetables and something that completely surprised me: flamb\u00e9ed bananas and mandarins that were served with fire.<\/p>\n

The Peruvian guys couldn\u2019t film what they needed with the drone because the clouds never went away while we were hiking. However, in the afternoon, when we were already at Sky Camp<\/strong><\/a>, something wonderful happened. While the sun was going down, the clouds simply disappeared. The snow of the mountains Humantay<\/strong><\/a> and Salkantay<\/a> <\/strong>were tinted red and orange. They were no longer gigantic pyramids of snow but appeared as giant pyramids of fire. In this moment, I thought of the Peruvian hikers and hoped with all my heart that they were able to take photos and videos. Surely, they would be spectacular.<\/p>\n

Sleep watching the starry sky<\/h6>\n

In Sky Camp<\/a><\/strong>, you can fall asleep stargazing. There are several igloos with transparent roofs that have comfortable beds inside. I\u2019ve rented a sleeping bag to handle the coldness of the night. I don\u2019t know why, but I feel that good luck accompanies me now. The bed beside me is empty. They\u2019ve put me in an igloo by myself because it\u2019s low season, and there aren\u2019t many trekkers. In this season, though, rain tends to hinder the hikes a bit. It\u2019s about 8 at night, and the lights of the campsite have been turned off. The moon illuminates the clouds around the mountains that I can see from my bed. I feel the immensity of the night falling over me and, for a moment, it startles me. I feel so small. Then, I open my eyes as big as I can to the nighttime and also feel like I\u2019m in a spaceship. In a capsule that\u2019s slowly navigating outer space.<\/p>\n

I think I\u2019ve slept really profoundly. A member of the agency\u2019s team handing me a cup of hot coca tea wakes me up.<\/p>\n

\"Humantay<\/a>

Another Humantay lake’s amazing view<\/p><\/div>\n

Turquoise jewel on the mountains<\/h6>\n

He says breakfast will be ready soon, and I should get my things ready to go to Humantay Lake<\/strong><\/a>. Breakfast is really delicious: a bunch of bread, thick hot chocolate, an omelette and a banana. Alex appears with his usual smile and good humor. He sits down beside me and asks if I\u2019ve slept well, and I, as if I know exactly what to do, say, \u201cYes, Alex, I slept really well. I think I dreamt of the mountains. Hey, is it difficult to get to Humantay Lake<\/a><\/strong> from here? Is it just one path?\u201d Alex smiles and asks me, \u201cYou\u2019ve become a rebel, Jhon. You want to have the whole lake to yourself, right? Hurry up, get you stuff ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSee that kiosk? Go there, and then turn to the left. There\u2019s just one trail; don\u2019t worry. Get up there, and wait for us at the lake. Don\u2019t get lost this time, eh, Jhon. You\u2019ve already caused enough problems,\u201d Alex says as he winks at me.<\/p>\n

I start the hike in solitude. I get further and further away from the campsites of Soraypampa<\/a><\/strong>, going toward the mountain range that splits in two because the trail. It’s like they\u2019re two open arms receiving me. The birds\u2019 songs accompany me; I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s because it\u2019s early or because there aren\u2019t any people. The hike is uphill, and the kiosk Alex showed me doesn\u2019t seem so close. When I start to worry, two white horses appear in the distance, grazing peacefully. And their owners? I can\u2019t tell if they have saddles or if they\u2019re free. The vision of the two white horses excites me and, before continuing, I surprise myself when I say out loud, \u201cPlease, give me your permission to enter; I need to visit you,\u201d to the mountain Humantay<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Apacheta<\/a>

Sacred rock towers<\/p><\/div>\n

Sacred signals on the mountains<\/h6>\n

I see an eagle go flying over me just before I get to Humantay Lake<\/strong><\/a>. Then I go a few more steps and silently arrived. Humantay Lake<\/strong><\/a> is a true turquoise mirror clearly reflecting the snowy glaciers. I can\u2019t believe how close the immense mountain is. It\u2019s as if the mountain is right above me. There\u2019s nobody here. Well actually, in the background, an animal appears. It\u2019s so far away I can\u2019t tell if it\u2019s a horse or a big dog, but I gladly accept the company. A sort of peace invades me. I see several small rock towers that visitors have constructed and feel they\u2019re sacred and really important. I find a rock to sit on, take off my shoes and do something I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever done before: pray. In reality, I start talking to the lake, this tranquil disc of tourmaline and the mountain Humantay<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I can hear the thin thread of water coming off the snow and forming the lake. Then I remember last night\u2019s sensation when the nighttime fell over me like a gigantic cloak, making me feel so small. It\u2019s impossible not to feel small, too, in front of the snow-covered mountains. The wind blows and, at last, I find the words that\u2019ve been resisting coming out of my heart for so long: I\u2019m not happy. I understand that I\u2019ve chosen a life that doesn\u2019t satisfy me and that all the money I\u2019ve been accumulating doesn\u2019t serve any purpose. I realize that I\u2019ve never had this tie to nature that I now felt so clearly through my bare feet. In this moment, in less than one minute, fog covered everything.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s only a slight turquoise gleam from the lake. Everything else is white. The fog is so thick that it even hides my hands. I fear that I may get lost or that the fog will end up making me vanish completely. However, although it sounds strange to say it, I continue speaking with the lake, and that makes me calm.<\/p>\n

Mistery at Humantay lake<\/h6>\n

While everything is covered by the white fog, I hear the unmistakable sounds of human beings. Next, one shout and then another. A group of guys, it seems, celebrating their arrival to the lake and lamenting the panorama hidden by the fog. I can\u2019t keep conversing with the lake anymore and remember what Alex told me yesterday when the mountains stayed hidden in spite of the Peruvian guys\u2019 desire to take pictures: \u201cThey didn\u2019t ask permission from the mountain.\u201d It’s like nobody in this group has asked permission from the mountain. I try to concentrate again, but their shouts make it really uncomfortable. When one of them throws a stone in the lake, I understand that the charm is broken. The fog isn\u2019t going to leave.<\/p>\n

\"Man<\/a>

Enjoying Humantay lake<\/p><\/div>\n

The end of my amazing experience<\/h6>\n

We leave for Cusco<\/strong><\/a> in the afternoon. While we get further and further from the campsite at Soraypampa, I feel nostalgic and satisfied. I\u2019m sure something has happened. In reality, something important has happened within me, although I don\u2019t know with certainty what it\u2019s about. From time to time, I look back to the immensity of Humantay and Salkantay. They say goodbye to me in all their splendor. I affectionately tell them goodbye, too.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any better time to travel than as the afternoon draws on. We all feel proud of our physical efforts and are now interacting naturally. Several times, I see how Alex, our guide, looks at us through the rear-view mirror with a face of joy. Inside me, there\u2019s silence and harmony. We talk a little more until, little by little, my travel partners start to fall asleep.<\/p>\n

I stay awake until, after 2 hours of travel, I see the shape of Salkantay<\/strong> <\/a>again in the distance. Its impressive presence, be it far-off or close-by, continues moving my heart. Then I also sleep.<\/p>\n
