It is 100 km to the Ecuador border.
I will stay here for two nights and rest.
The water is not cold enough for swimming, but there are people swimming.
There are also surfers.
The prices seem a bit high. Maybe somewhere between the countryside and Cusco.
Also, there are mosquitoes.

When I researched trekking courses with a difficulty level of 'low to medium,' I found that there are several easy courses on the American side of Alaska. However, on the Canadian side, there are virtually none, and you need to go as far as Jasper and Banff, near Vancouver, to find trails with a low difficulty level. The intermediate areas only have courses with a 'high' difficulty level.
Even if it's considered 'low,' it's Alaska, so you can't be careless.
It might be enough to just visit the American side of Alaska.
If I were to go to Whitehorse in Canada, I should probably consider canoeing instead of trekking.
I think that even just traveling around the American side, a month will pass by quickly.
This time, there have been very few criminal incidents, so it's been a relatively peaceful journey.
However, even though Colombia is already a place I've been, I need to change my mindset because the level of danger is different.
If I go through Colombia and then to North America, the crime rate might decrease, but the vast nature will become a threat. I need to be careful of bears.
Even considering all those dangers, I think that compared to the era of the anti-government guerrillas a few decades ago, South America is now a 'peaceful' time.
Even though I'm choosing the regions I visit, perhaps the theme of this trip could be 'peace.'
Still, I need to be careful in Colombia, or I might end up in trouble.
