My Peruvian Trekking Documentary

In July of 2013 I took a trip to Peru to walk the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu and climb Huayna Picchu. Upon completing this trek I proceeded to trek the 5 day circuit around Ausangate. The journey was filled with so much incredible history and culture. I dearly miss the Quechua food and people. This video documents the journey.
