View from 14000 feet

Past the treeline. The continental divide is there. The three crosses represent nature - earth air water (I think but doesn't that seem logical to you?) This is on the Inca trail that passes from the coast to Cuenca through the Andes. The larger one leads to Macchu Pichu and all that. It was a trade route. The rocks were brought with the traveler to lay at the crosses. I asked Gustavo about the really big ones. He doubted that they were carried. We had a good laugh while gasping for air. The oxygen level was 40% less than normal. For the first time in my life I used a hiking stick. Thank goodness I packed light.
