Rich and Dee Perik Just another weblog A trip to this area was postponed because the nights can get to -20º in the winter. The summer months are a little warmer.
Who would imagine that a tropical country would have cold like Canada or Siberia. At 13,000 feet above sea level when there is no sun it gets a bit nippy especially at night.
A survey trip is needed to the high plateau. There are strong winds there most of the time. The climate is very harsh. The people we need to visit are very hardy people.
We hope to find good contacts with natives that will help us gather accurate information for a survey report.
From what we have already learned the people that live in that area keep to themselves. The high plateau with strong winds and cold nights makes the life of the people living there not so easy, but they have lived and thrived for many many years.
