Exploring the lagoon Sucus

That morning promised to be interesting: We were going to explore the lagoon Sucus, in the land of bears.

It has always struck me the spectacled bear, even more since it came a group of foreign reporters looking for places in our country where possible sighting and human encroachment on their habitat becomes apparent to raise awareness about their survival and create mechanisms preservation and coexistence.

An acquaintance of mine participated in this expedition and told me their experiences, which subsequently saw the DVD reporters sent him thanks and where you can see their findings, combined with the beautiful Andean cloud landscapes of our country.

The path leading to the aforementioned lagoon is, as the song says, the side of the road just after passing the La Virgen. From this point begins the ascent of the moor, to delve into some of that huge lake complex, where you can see how the Andean desert, as it is also called the moor, is a huge sponge that stores water.

A few meters further, and came to a natural balcony with a fantastic view. It was curious to recall, at that time, the name of it, Sucus means slurp. This is because, when he came down to get a bit closer to the lagoon, were a number of fibrous bromeliads, ripped to expose her juicy interior, as desired by the bears appear. It was obvious I cut produced by its powerful claws, and their bites. I started scanning the cloudy landscape, imagining that they must be out there somewhere, hidden among the vegetation, straining his senses by the presence of visitors.
 

Transparent sheet of water that is haunted, too, elusive rabbits, deer and fast disappeared in a flash, literally. The landscape, just awesome ...

I returned to the vehicle, with a huge sense of peace and joy, which only encourages and inspires memories.

We continue to Papallacta for a relaxing dip in the warm pools, good food, accompanied by a pitcher of medicinal guayusa (shrub native to our Amazon) ... the perfect recipe for an optimal rest, but above all, for a day of nature and comfort .
