La Casa de Christoph
"Die kleine Internethütte von Christoph, dem Jäger des verlorenen Schatzes der Inkas"
(Christoph Hoerner's  Small Internet Hut)
      Christoph Hoerner, from Mannheim, Germany went to South America. Inkas, treasure hunting, he said. Doing volunteer work in a project for street children in Cusco, Perú. Then he took the Inka Trail to the citadel of Machu Picchu. Later continued via Sucre to Uyuni in southwestern Bolivia.
      Currently he is in the Salar de Uyuni, the world largest salt desert. Alexandre Lagache says it's dangerous.

Christoph, please come back safely!

Before reading his log you should know:                                                                        
      The capital of the province and department of Cusco, Perú, the city of Cusco, on the southeast Andes, at 13° 30 South, 72° West is 3360 meters above the sea level.
      Amauta Spanish School -- Suecia 480, Cusco, Perú (+51) 84 26 2345 -- study Spanish while immersed in Peruvian culture.
      The Inka Trail between the Sacred Valley of the Urubamba River and the citadel of Machu Picchu passes numerous significant Inca ruins and descends through the Sun Gate to Machu Picchu. Part of a network of trails of the Inka Empire, approximately 30,000 km (18,600 miles) in total that served
to move Inka armies and to deliver messages through a system of runners so that the Inka at Cusco could receive news from Quito as rapidly as letters
are delivered between the two cities by mail today.
      Sucre city is the capital of Bolivia. Bolivia is named after its liberator Simón Bolivar. The name of the city of La Plata was changed to Sucre in honor of Mariscal Antonio José de Sucre, who along with Bolivar, fought for independence from the Spanish rule. The city of Sucre is also known as the City of Four Names (La Plata, Charcas, Ciudad Blanca (White City), and Sucre).
      El Salar de Uyuni is a salt desert in southwestern Bolivia. There was once a giant salt water lake, the water vanished and all that remains is the salt, tens of meters thick.
