On Our Way
No, the horses are really larger than this...
These are members of the pack team.

Camp Marca Huasi
These walls make a great wind break.
At 13,000' that's a plus!

Day 2 Wednesday September 27th
Marca Huasi
Today we hike the plateau.

Here you see the strangest things witnessed during our adventure. Huge stone animals, faces and heads populate this plateau. - no one knows when this was done or why. There is so much to see here that it would take months to see it all.

During the hike you can expect to see the Face of Ages Monument, the Elephants, the Alchemist, the Huacracocha Lake, the Fortress, the Mummy, the Condors, the Pilot, the Thueris God and the Aeronauts, the Amphitheater and the double Sphinx. Besides these, there are many other faces and shaped stones throughout the landscape.

Finally we arrive to the strangest spot of all - a place where strange things have happened to myself and several others who have been here. As we pass through "the gates of Lyra" we clearly see beneath us a large stone outcropping. Moving closer it becomes obvious this place is not normal looking, either. The walls surrounding us are seemingly melted and retreating. We have just entered the area the locals have named "The Star Gate" - another transdimentional doorway!

To better understand why I find this place is so unusual I suggest you read my story about Marca Huasi. It was originally published in Magical Blend Magazine - Jan thru March 2000.

During the evening another Shamanic ceremony might be conducted (weather permitting - it gets very cold here at night).  Nearby our camp is a mysterious place we believe to be a passage way between worlds! Interested?
