Early this month my stalwart husband, Kevin joined our son Colin for an adventure hike in the Andes near Choquequirao.

Here are a few pictures, which tell just some of the adventures.

First – Heading toward the Colca canyon beyond

Second- Traversing the Apurmac River in a metal pull cart (The swinging rope bridge had washed away in last year’s flood.)

Third– A view of the switch back paths they would hike in the Choquequiero Region

Lastly– Kevin resting on day 4 , of the 5-day hike.

One of Kevin’s fondest memory was seeing a shooting star on the 2nd night of the trip and whispering the prayer, “Please God, let me get out of this canyon alive.”
