This is the time
We waited too long
And I'm wondering
Where I belong

We have lost

We're out of control

When we fail nature speaks to us all

This is the time

I'll tell you why

The world's left alone

Now's the time

to make right what's wrong

We have lost

We're out of control

If we're straight can we hear nature's call

When we fail nature speaks to us all

This is the time

So what's the world to be

Just a luxury

A temporary sing?

But what have we got

When is gone away?

We need to come to see

What the Earth should be: a santuary free

A renewed paradise still alive

This is the time

The sky and the sea

We speak the paragons

We planted to seed

We have lost

We're out of control

If we're straight can we hear nature's call

When we fail nature speaks to us all

This is the time

So what's the world to be

Just a luxury

A temporary sing?

But what have we got

When is gone away?

We need to come to see

What the Earth should be: a santuary free

All that we sacrified

In the end has it's price

A renewed paradise still alive

In your eyes

This is the time

So what's the world to be

Just a luxury

A temporary sing?

But what have we got

When is gone away?

We need to come to see

What the Earth should be: a santuary free

All that we sacrified

In the end has it's price

A renewed paradise still alive

In your eyes

Still alive in your eyes

Stone Sentinel

       The Andes is the more extensive Range of the planet and also one of the highest, second in Altitude, lost only for the Himalaya and Karakoram mountain range in Asia where there are mountains that exceed 7000 meters above sea level.

       The Sentinel Rock (translation of the indigenous name for Aconcagua) and Top of the Americas, also the highest mountain outside the Himalayas and Karakorum with 6962 m.s.n.m. is one of the most coveted Seven Summits each of which is the highest on each continent on the planet, challenge for hundreds of climbers in the season that lasts from November to February.

 

 

       Your Beauty reside in the peculiar characteristics of their size, geology, biodiversity and local culture, which has a population extremely receptive and friendly, which makes the activities in the mountains a unique experience.

 

 

       Climbing these mountains is a unique and enjoyable learning and self-knowledge.

 

 

       It feels good to the eyes and lungs, these are just two of the many advantages of climbing any mountain in the Andes. The Learning about yourself and your physiology is very rewarding, beyond learning about the climate, environment and living in high mountain.

 

 

       Activities may be the most diverse fields in Base ... here in 4400 msnm Mules

       Riding camps, acclimation, food, clothing, equipment, everything is learning ...

 

 

        Living moments and realize dreams is something that every human being should give themselves the luxury, and the Andes is one of the most spectacular places to practice this ...

 

 

       Self sufficiency is a word that clearly defines activities Nomads, the ability to survive in different environments, knowing how to use the resources present in each of them without causing damage the environment while maintaining the capacity for regeneration of the area allowing the passage by the same area in a future period is a common feature of this way of life ...

 

 

 

      Knowing that the long road we have to travel is not to reach the ridge of a distant mountain only, but the way of life, knowing where we want to reach and what the best route makes us a better men, this is part of the process .. . the stones in the way make us best  polishing us every time,  for being harder than us ...

 

 

 

       When everything seems more adverse witness the open sky over you in a storm, the sun warm your face while everything around is cold and sightless, makes you reflect on how important it is to beat the challenge imposed by yourself, feel-winner if no rivals ... the task is not easy, on the contrary it is as arduous as rewarding, perhaps only those that come off to do things like being in a high ridge somewhere in the continent understand the dimension of a sense of freedom and happiness so complete.

 

 

       How inspiring would say our fellow mountain Nelson Alves Penteado, "It is important to observe well the mountains, because it's of your high summits they also observe us. "

        And when he finally left that place very special back, the sun warms your back and you know it's just that you need ...

Absurd
At what point can reach the Human Being
and it will prove superior?
Is time to put ourselves in place of the other...
We not like to be in the same position of these living beings.
