Pico Naiguata-December 2017. Quite an experience
.
.
For me it was an almost extrasensory experience because I almost literally had to detach my body from my mind, the long climb to get to the top was strenuous, exhausting and at each step a test more to the will, than anyone who still is prepared the mountain represents !!!
The Naiguata peak! one of the highest peaks in South America and the world.
.
.
After spending almost three years without a serious exercise routine or a constant regime of any physical activity or sport, I embarked on this adventure with some friends, who have been used for a few years to climb the peak to spend a few days and talk about everything and nothing!
.
.
We formed a camp that was our home for three days, with a cold that made you reconsider the decision to go on such an adventure, yes !!, even after having suffered that long walk, climbing, falls, rain and back pains. Even after those things, we made it a home.
.
.
At that height and in that place the clear nights are few, but when you can appreciate one of those nights you have the luck to see many stars, both in heaven and on earth. With that effect almost as a mirror, humanity reflects its existence, I think that as a species we do not even have the remotest idea of the potential we have and what we have achieved and even more what we still need to discover and invent.
These are the thoughts to which such adventures take you. You question, you ask and you answer; existential discussions between your fellow adventurers, but, the most important is the conversation you have with yourself when you reach that level of demand.
.
.
Contemplate the immensity of the ocean and the fragility of humanity makes you question many things about your existence, but I think the most important thing is to understand that we are ephemeral, fleeting is our passage through this life, so that is why we have to live at maximum and laugh, cry, kiss, fight; We have to feel and try to be happy in every moment of our short lives.
