there were 4 of us in the trek group + 2 tour guides + 8 porters (one which was a cook who made amazing food with very limited resources in the andes! he even BAKED a cake IN A PAN!… like… on a frying pan… on a gas stove… wow!). the porters carried the large equip like tents and food and mats and cooking gear.

we camped every night in the mountains at designated camp sites (except for the first night where we stayed at one of our porter’s family’s farms). outside our tents would be random dogs that i assumed belonged to the local farmers and other random animals (chickens, donkeys, horses, ducks). anyway… here are the pictures from the hike. img_8122 img_8123 img_8124 img_81281 img_8131 img_8132 img_8142 img_8152 img_8159 img_8164 img_8175 img_8181 img_8189 img_8191 img_8194 img_8196 img_8204 img_8206 img_8208 img_8211 img_8217 img_8225 img_8239 img_8243 img_8245 img_8285 img_8260 img_8273 img_82811 img_8282 img_8288 img_8293 img_8312 img_8321 img_8326 img_8330 img_8335 img_8339 img_8340 img_8344 img_8353 img_8355 img_8356 img_8358 img_8364 img_8426 img_8447 img_8476 img_8481 img_8484
