On the way to Choquequirao, Mikey makes his first trade with a Peruvian guide—offering a horn he found on the Saint Francis route in exchange for a traditional Peruvian flute. A simple, beautiful moment of cultural exchange in the Andes.

Made It to Paradise After a Full Day Trek! #choquequirao #perú

 

After a full day of hiking toward Choquequirao, Mike and Olive reach a stunning spot: a peaceful pool, epic views of the Andes, and snow-dusted peaks glowing in the evening sun. They celebrate with a warm beer (the German got the cold ones!) and a juicy mango picked straight off a tree on the trail. This is what trekking dreams are made of.

Was It Worth It? Olive Tests Her New Trekking Mat ️

 

Middle of a rocky mountain. Long way to go. Olive finally tests the floor mat she bought in Cusco—and it’s a win. A clean, cozy place to sit, lean back on her pack, and catch a mountain breeze.

 

Mikey asks: Was it worth it?

Olive: Definitely.

 

Light as a feather, not the easiest to fold, but totally approved for the Choquequirao trek ✅

 

🎒 Gear-tested on the trail!
