Hiking in the famous Andes Mountains might be a good choice on your bucket list. It is one of the wild side of South America that provides hikers with abundance of options to take. Many of these treks are at high altitude, so be ready for that. The pictures from my album were mostly taken during my Lares Trek in Peru, some of those were from my biking experience in Sacred Valley.
The high altitude made the clouds cast big shadows over the town.
Salt Flats of Maras
Downhill biking was a great experience though I didn’t end up quite well.

This was 8am in the winter morning and we just spent the night sleeping here.
The rectangular shaped tent towards the left was the makeshift restroom. I put my nature call to the nature instead.
Yes, we came a long way
Sleeper tents for the night
This Peruvian lady invited us into her home for a visit.
And she offered us sweet potatoes, I had no idea why they were black.

These llamas were carriers, look at the woods on their back.

My virgin trip to South America was really exotic. I can’t wait till I step foot onto South America continent again.
Amazing photos, looks like you had an adventure and a half! I would always be wary of eating food from a local person like that, although to refuse would be impolite! 😉
