I have just
arrived on 3400 meters, on the top of the Mirador san Christobal, amidst the
old Inca-land in the southern Andes in Peru. After a little climb of about 2
hours I am sitting here together with Robin – our youngest son, enjoying the
majestic scenery. We are surrounded by 6000-meter mountains. On our right the abyss
drops down for almost 1000 meter, and all the way down there the brown ‘Rio
Apurimac’, a wild river, is winding its way through the untouched and wild
nature. Lots of little green terraces are scattered about the mountain slopes.
And here and there we spot some little primitive huts. The Quecho-Indians live
here together with their sheep and lamas.
Robin and I
are here for 8 days to discover Peru and to support the amazing hospital, the
Diospi Suyana, in Curahuasie, as I have been conducting a ‘Healthy Leadership’
training for some of the employees of the Hospital for the last couple of days.
Like so often during journeys like this one, I find that I am learning and
discovering as much as the participants of the training!
