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)

[marieaway]

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.

[marieaway]

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

[marieaway]

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

[marieaway]

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)

[marieaway]

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)

[marieaway]

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

[marieaway]

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

[marieaway]

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)

[marieaway]

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)

[marieaway]

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)
