Salkantay Trail, Peru.

Today my little brother and I started our trek to Machu Picchu.
Both of us grew up in New York City, and neither one of us
has ever gone hiking or camping before. So naturally we
decided that the first camping trip of our lives should be
a four day trek through the highest peaks of Peru.
PK prepares to begin the trek. See that large white thing
in the background? That’s what we’re climbing.
PK hikes much faster than I do. He is almost a speck
on the horizon for most of the day. We made it to the summit! 9km of uphill to make it to
the altitude of 4,600m! Now begins the decline to our campsite.
So close and yet so far. Those tiny yellow spots are our tents.
