Backpacking the AUSANGATE Circuit (Cusco) 🇵🇪
This spring we spent a week in the Cusco region of Peru with the main goal of completing the Ausangate Circuit. To acclimate we did several day trips and hiked to Humantay Lake and to the viewpoint of the famous Rainbow mountains.
The distance of this trek is roughly 40 miles and it circumnavigates the 6000m peak of Ausangate. The trail stays above 14000 feet for the entire length. Unfortunately we were not able to complete the entire circuit due to weather but we had an amazing time and the Andes continues to not disappoint!

Hiking the MANASLU CIRCUIT in NEPAL Over 11 Days 🇳🇵
มุมมอง 6K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
Nepal is home to the world's tallest mountains and a major climbing and trekking destination. In November 2022 me and my husband hiked the Manaslu Circuit, a 110 mile trek around Manaslu (the world's 8th tallest mountain), over 11 days. We typically enjoy hiking on our own but a guide is required for this region and therefore we were accompanied by one and 2 porters, along with 3 other hikers. ...

This GHOST Town is Getting Swallowed by the Dunes (Kolmanskop)
มุมมอง 7442 ปีที่แล้ว
In the early 1900s, diamonds were discovered in the sands south of Luderitz. Almost overnight, a diamond rush began, drawing people from all over into the desert. Over 50 years, Kolmanskop flourished as a beacon of wealth in Namibia. But eventually the diamonds dried up, and the money dried up with them. I went alone into the ghost town to explore the houses getting eaten by the sand. If you li...
