We needed a horse to get him back the 2-daytrail from BC to the next road, because he was to weak to walk. Everybody who goes to Peru: take care with the food and don´t eat meat there!

	Hasn't voted	"Everybody who goes to Peru: take care with the food and don´t eat meat there!" what a stupid comment! there were 2,5 millions of tourist in Perú in 2010, so all they got sick for food? don't be ridiculous!

	Nikman	Re: Beautiful
	Hasn't voted	I don't see, what should be stupid or ridiculous with this comment. I don't refer to a wide range of tourists. This is a mountaineering site! This comment is my personal experience during mountaineering. In our group one member got seriously sick from salmonellae. He was so weak, we needed a horse to get him back in to civilisation. I met at least two other independent travelling mountaineers who also suffered severe stomach sickness. There is for sure a statistic peak of those infections, that catch up to travelling mountaineers from the northern hemisphere. I also mountaineered in Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela, Nepal and all European countries of the Alps, but in any other country never met such a strong risc of getting sick from food. There is for sure a relation to low hygenic standards in Peru.

	Hasn't voted	In German it's called "Schaum-Eis" what might be translated to English as "foam-ice"?

	Voted 10/10	We weren't laughing at the mountain, we were laughing "with" the mountain! The South American peaks are always fasinating to look at, whether they resemble whipped cream or not. If I ever tried to attempt what some of these outstanding ice and snow climbers are doing, I would be nothing but "creamed." :)
