Well... I'm Back. I wasn't feeling to good before this trip. Too much computer and not enough outside. In general questioning a lot lately as my 2 months in Peru comes to a close. The world is out there waiting for you if you get up off your ass and go get it! 
.
Ausangate trek by bike. Highly recommended! 4 days - 7 passes over 16,200ft (5,000m). It will be a while before I process everything photo-wise and mentally. If you ever want to feel as you have left the planet without leaving earth.. go to Peru. This place is unworldly
=======================================================================================

Entering another world at 5000m in Peru. The diversity of landscapes around Ausagante was ridiculous: rainbow colored mountains, up-close views of glaciers and 6000m peaks and vistas that changed continuously with the weather.

Temperatures at this elevation are extremely dynamic - from below freezing in the morning to above 25C during the day with bouts of rain, hail and sun in between! It certainly kept things interesting as I sweated and shivered my way around #bybike #bikepacking #peru
