a quick trip to the beginning of the “El Choro” trail, a trek which takes 3 days and traverses the Cordillera Real mountains and Parque Nacional Cotopata. it begins at La Cumbre (4725m), the highest point on the La Paz–Coroico highway, and climbs to 4859m before descending 3250m into the humid Yungas and the village of Chairo. The route is 57km and crosses a rapid change in climate, vegetation and wildlife as the altitude changes from rainy and cold altiplano to humid forest. this trek is popular among bolivians during Semana Santa, or holy week. photos from april 10th, 2017.

An unusual travel lesson learned🤔: ・・・ “I'm sure you are wondering how we look so well dressed after hiking four days through the Andes....well we changed clothes once we arrived at Machu Picchu.⠀ ⠀ Apparently, that's frowned upon.⠀ ⠀ Without a hidden spot to change, Angelina just threw her dress over her yoga pants and sports bra she was hiking in. Security saw this and (even though she didn't take any clothes off, she actually just added a layer of clothing) told us that we had to leave.⠀ ⠀ We had just arrived. If we were kicked out of Machu Picchu within 5 minutes of arriving, the last four days of hiking would've been for nothing.⠀ ⠀ After we were escorted to the entrance of the park, we explained our situation to the security manager (who actually spoke english). He checked our passports and said we were fine and let us back in.⠀ ⠀ Then we rushed up to this spot and took a beautiful picture in our illegal outfits :) - 📝Story/📸: @laytonjacobcox - ❓What are your favorite landmark photo ops?

Llamas! The last remaining residents of Ingapirca, which is only fitting since thousands of them were sacrificed here. #roadtrip #incantrail #ingapirca #ecuador

The IngaPirca ruins, the only site the Canares & the Incas shared. It was a religious site & is said to still hold great power. Every year on June 21st, ceremony is held to channel this energy for purification & uplifting. #ecuador #ingapirca #incantrail #roadtrip
