Today we were up at 5am beginning a gruelling hike which gained 1800m in altitude over 15 slow kilometres…. However again the scenery was spectacular taking my mind off the intensity of the hike, with howler monkeys in the trees and for the first time I spotted a Quetzal bird (extremely rare) and incredibly beautiful. The hike took us about 7 hours to make it to the base camp and was very cold up there.
Was pretty exhausted from the trek so eat and then went to bed as tomorrow we are up at 2.30am to try and hit the summit for sunrise…
