The way to the summit| Mifés Peak and the ghosts of the mountain

Mifés peak is part of Sierra De La Culata National Park in Venezuela; all the pictures shown in this post were taken by members of GEUCAT

View of Mifés peak from Mucubají lagoon

The trip to this peak is somewhat easy, yet filled with cold nights and beautiful landscapes, you are meant to set camp way inside the mountain, but that day a powerful storm came and we had to set the camp in the lagoon

The summit is located 4,630 meters above sea level, all the way to the summit is a slope filled with loose rocks or mud

The second day we woke up early, the ground was frozen, we prepared our breakfast and started walking at around 8 Am, the valley was beautiful, and the huge landscape was something that worth every single second walking

At this point we were half our way out, we drop some weigth by leaving our backpacks
This mountain can be used as training, due to the low cost of the trip, the low difficulty, the terrain, and the altitude

We finally made it to the summit, on our way down i just slope with my ass in the mud and snow, was easier and faster, but i ruined my pants

Also, something very strange happened, i was walking our way back with a friend, the two of us completely alone, at some point she started to hear voices calling her, i was hearing something too but i didn't care, but she was going crazy, she started to ask me to use my whistle because of the voices, thinking that the voices were coming from our friends, but we were alone and our friends way further, they never hear the whistle

After 2 years, while talking with one of my best friends, he told me that on that day he was walking alone, and he started to hear voices at the same point, that the voices were almost calling him in whispers, and that he almost got lost because of it.  Ghosts?  Imagination?  Both? i don’t know

The rest of the day the group the group took random pictures for the memories

I hope you enjoyed the post

Goodbye ;)
