To the Lake and Beyond


Here are the group's plans until October 3 (as posted on the Dragons website):

"We will leave Monday morning for Santiago de Okola, a small agricultural community on the western shore of Lake Titicaca. Following three days of homestays, agricultural activities and short hikes, we will continue north to the town of Pelechuco--in the heart of Apolobamba. From there, we will set out for five days on the trail, climbing over high passes and wandering through fertile valleys and highland grazing lands for llamas and alpacas. At the end of our trek, we plan to spend three days in a rural Quechua community, living and working with local families. It promises to be a challenging, grand adventure!Forgive us for being "out of touch" during this journey! We expect to return to La Paz on October 3rd, and we will continue on to our "home" in Sorata the following day."
