Sunday: Lunahuaná

There’s a tourist guide living in the Casa Roja for three years now and we were lucky he organized a tour to Lunahuaná for us. We had a really nice car with plenty of legspace for the
3 hour ride each trip. Lunahuaná is very beautiful, lives mainly from tourism and the sun shines almost always.
We went with 4 guest from the house (including our guide) and the family owning the Casa Roja, so we were 8 in total.
Our first activity was rafting, but we were all in a pretty large boat and thus it was not much of a problem cruising the pretty tough river. Afterwards we used the chance to swim a bit,
and noticed how strong the current really was. I actually wanted to cross the river, but it turned out to be almost impossible or at least dangerous, so I didn’t try.

After enjoying a nice vegetarian lunch (the family owning the house and some of the guests are vegeterians) we crossed the river on a ropeway and took a nice walk. A local showed us a grave with a
mummy he claimed was 3000 years old (we didn’t believe it, but it was still impressive) and a collection of human bones and skulls. He also told us very interesting stories about the history of the place.

So we had a very nice day and enjoyed the pure air and sun!
