Adam, Marko and Osvaldo - on the summit of Sajama - just past 6:00 PM on the 27th

Paul and Juancho climbed all the way to the top together - here they pose on the very summit, after it has gotten dark and before they begin to descend

When we saw the shadow of Sajama to the East as the sun set behind us to the West

We arrived at the top of Sajama as the sun set behind us to the west - it was beautiful

On the 28th when we returned to our hostel, it was time for celebration. Adam toasts with a bottle of our favorite Bolivian beer.

After rigorous climbing, soaking in the hot springs at 15,000 feet above sea level was welcome on our tired muscles.

We were told that the mud in Sajama Hot Springs has special rejuvenating properties on the skin. Karen decided to give it a try!
