ALL ABOUT THE AMAZING ANDES
SUBTITLE
ANIMALS IN THE ANDES: WHAT LIVE THERE
Although there is freezing glaciers, fatal avalanches and biting blizzards animals can still survive. 1 of the animals is a shaggy coated yak. Not only is the yak an all-terrain vehicle for hauling goods, but also furnishes the Tibetan people with meat: wool, cheese, milk and butter. The mountain people use the yaks hidest to make portable tents for herdsmen. They also give present gift butter to the Buddhist, Monks and Lamas.
Introduction
If you crave high adventure, then journey into the clouds and learn about the vast Andes. The mighty Andes is a majestic mountain range that stretches across South America, running through many countries: Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Columbia, and Venezuela; it could truly be called the backbone of South America. Aconcagua, with its snow-capped summit, tower above the Earth proudly. At 6,962m, this is the highest summit in the Americas.
Appearance: What do the impressive Andes look like?
Subtopic
Remarkably, the highest summits of these amazing mountain range are snow-capped all year round because of the cold temperatures. There are many dangers that mountaineers brave enough to climb Aconcagua {the highest peak} face: freezing glaciers {rivers of ice}, fatal avalanches and biting blizzards!
Food in the Andes: what do they eat?
Typically, the mountain people of Tibet drink 30-50 cups of their national drink, Po Cha, {which is buttered tea} providing them with energy for the day. It is made from yak butter, tea leaves and salt {sounds yummy huh?}. As well drinking Po Cha, they eat potatoes and smoke tobacco! In the morning, the Andes people make a hot cereal, as well as other dishes, from the seeds of the quinoa plant which are very high in protein. Some even raises guinea pigs as a source of meat. Corn–which takes 9-10 months to grow-is a common source of food for the people in the Andes. Although corn is a popular food in the mountainous Andes, it isn’t the main food source: Chuno {freeze- dried potatoes} is the chief food. Although corn is commonly eaten in the settlements in the Andes, it isn't easy to produce; the main problem is that it takes a long time to grow before being suitable for humans to eat, after it had been boiled.
