Exploring the Japanese Garden in La Serena, #Chile (at Jardin Japones, La Serena)

The Japanese Garden can be a scary place. #Chile #Garden (at Jardin Japones, La Serena)

Lake Orkoncocha — our breakfast view and first stop on the way to hike up to Lake 69 (4550 metres). We left Huaraz at 5 am in order to get ahead of most the crowds that would be about an hour behind us. #peru #hiking (at Peru)

Ice climbing for the first time near Huaraz, Perú. This is at about 4500m in altitude—certainly makes the 45-minute hike to the ice a lot tougher.

Getting lost in the dunes (but not really) near Huacachina, Perú. #Peru #dunes #sandboarding (at Oasis Huacachina)

Not a bad day to go biking in the mountains. #mountainbiking #peru (at Huaraz)

Climbing at Los Olivos in Huaraz, #Peru. Here's a thought I had about climbing: at some point, you've just got to stop saying "I can't" and just get on with it. (at Los Olivos - Huaraz, Perú)

Getting to know the area around Huaraz, #Peru (at Parque Nacional Huascarán)

This is what breakfast looks like in Ecuador #Vegan #Ecuador #Fruit (at Olon)

Ayampe, you may have been rainy and overcast all week, but you sure are pretty at sunset. #Ecuador (at Ayampe, Manabi, Ecuador)

Incapirca: Incan ruins near the city of Cuenca. #Ecuador (at Ingapirca, Ecuador)

I'm going up! #climb #Ecuador (at Cojitambo)

Cuenca makes travelling in Ecuador look easy. The third-largest city in Ecuador, its centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Trust site. Plenty of beautiful architecture and conveniences to go around—kind of like Quito's historic centre, but without the rough edges. #Ecuador (at Centro de La Ciudad de Cuenca)

Our bus ride from Baños left us with an epic parting view of the city—Tungurahua, ash plumes spewing from its peak. #Volcano #Ecuador (at Baños, Tungurahua, Ecuador)

Biking the waterfall route is one of those things that you have to do when you're in Baños. Some say it's the best bike route in #Ecuador. Of course, you have to be prepared for rain at any point when you're around these parts. (at Baños, Ecuador)
