|TANKARPATA| Painting murals for the school kids is probably one of my favorite things we’ve done, even if I have zero artistic ability! #travel #southamerica #peru #cusco #tankarpata #volunteering #deakinabroad #cisaustralia (at Vallecito Tankarpata)
|VOLUNTEERING DAY 5| Trying to steal people’s pets and playing with mud, who said volunteering was hard! #travel #southamerica #peru #cusco #urquillos #volunteering #deakinabroad #cisaustralia (at Hacienda Urquillos)
|SACRED VALLEY| I’m pretty much done with walking up anymore mountains 🏔🚫 But Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero were pretty nice. #travel #southamerica #peru #sacredvalley #pisac #ollantaytambo #chinchero #volunteering #deakinabroad #cisaustralia
|VOLUNTEERING DAY 2| We were greeted in Huayllabamba with confetti 🎉 We first went to one of the locals houses to learn how to properly construct the stoves in the morning, where there were some newborn kittens and a room full of guinea pigs! In the afternoon we split into groups to go and construct our own stoves, which was super rewarding when it was finished knowing that we have been able to help someone in the local community. #travel #southamerica #peru #huayllabamba #volunteering #deakinabroad @deakin_abroad (at Huayllabamba, Cusco, Peru)
|VOLUNTEERING DAY 1| We travelled to Umasbamba to work with one of the local organisations Asociación Tupay. We were welcomed receiving leis and then performed a welcoming ceremony dance with the people from the association. Our day was filled with throwing mud at the walls of the room we were plastering, eating potatoes and was finished off with some volleyball. As well as attempting to get close enough to the llama to take photos. #travel #southamerica #peru #cusco #deakinabroad @deakin_abroad
|RAINBOW MOUNTAIN| A 2am wake up call was so worth the views of this beautiful place even if I couldn’t breathe! #travel #southamerica #peru #rainbowmountain #deakinabroad (at Rainbow Mountain Vinicunca, Peru)
|SALKANTAY TREK DAY 4 - MACHU PICCHU| The last early rise for the trek in order to get on one of the first buses up the mountain to Machu Picchu. I don’t really know what to say about it to be honest, it’s ver beautiful, breathtaking and nothing like I’ve ever seen before. We were created by roaming Llamas as we entered and began our tour. It was a beautiful morning and then the clouds and mist started to roll over which made it somewhat eerie. I would definitely recommend that if you have the chance to visit Machu Picchu as it is one of a kind. In an overall reflection on the whole trip I’m surprised I actually survived four days, I was almost ready to turn around on the first day until Ronaldo said that I could ride the horse and I’m so glad that I did. This trek was such an amazing experience, I got to see so many amazing places and views that I would never have been able to see otherwise. Will I do it again, probably not, it was one of the most gruelling experiences of my life, but it was so worth the early wake ups, sore legs and feet, and lack of being able to breathe! #southamerica #peru #salkantaytrek #machupicchu #alpacaexpeditions #deakinabroad
