XOCHIMILCO | Our girl @twerkala taking home the award for best #travelhelix photo-bomb 💃 . And thank you @remoteyear for the stellar afternoon cruising the colorful trajineras through the canals ☼♡✌︎ . . . . #remoteyear #ryuroboros #xochimilco #trajineras #trajinerasxochimilco #foundinmexico #visitmexico🇲🇽 #mexicoinmypocket #mexicotravel #mexico_fotos #visitamexico #photobombs #allthecolors #goprophotobomb #goprolifestyle La Piedra Del Peñol | 700+ steps to get up to the top of that bad boy. Truly, it wasn’t a hard climb, and the views from the top are beyond worth it. Although coming to visit this famous rock is an activity that is usually done as a day trip from Medellín, we were in awe with the surrounding area and would have welcomed a night or two chillen out on the lake & in the adorable colorful town of Guatapé. . Caught on the #djimavicair - aka Androne 3000 (yes, that is our Drone’s name - bet you can guess who chose that one!). . . . . #elpeñon #elpenon #elpenol #guatapecolombia #guatape #ig_colombia #experiencecolombia #discovercolombia #discoverdrone #dronenature #droneofficial #dronelove #dronefootage #southamericanadventure #androne3000 #thisiscolombia #colombia_greatshots #travelhelix COLOMBIA 🇨🇴 We don’t want to leave! This month went by way too fast. We have so much left to explore of this beautiful country, so one thing is for sure - vamos a regresar! 💛💙❤️ . . . . #wewillbeback #piedradelpeñol #guatapé #elpeñoldeguatape #colombiatravel #thisiscolombia #visitcolombia #travelcolombia #igcolombia #remoteyear #ryuroboros #travelhelix #travelsouthamerica #southamericatravel #hawaiianshirts Hellooooooo happy Wednesday! We’re back with more Peru goodness after an amazing week with family down here in Colombia…Came across this little sandy gem as we continue to sift through crazy amounts of content from this incredible country☀️ Also very excited to share some drone footage with you guys from this day 🚁 Huacachina is a must during your visit to Peru! Fairly touristy, but sandboarding down giant dunes and watching the sun set over this beautiful desert oasis made for the perfect mix of an adrenaline filled, yet tranquil day in paradise🏜 . . . . #huacachinadesert #huacachinaperu #huacachina #desertoasis #sanddunesadventure #sandboardingperu #sandboarding #travelhelix #perutrip #remoteyear #ryuroboros #workremote #goproadventure #feedyouradventure #goprohero7black #goprope #goproperu Llamas up to completing our trek! 🦙🦙🦙 At this point in the day (~9:30am), we had hiked up from Aguas Calientes in the pitch black, watched the sun rise over Machu Picchu, listened to our guide tell stories of its origin and discovery, and hiked up to the Sun Gate for more incredible views. We were both still in awe. Despite how many pictures you’ve seen, there’s nothing like seeing MP in person. It is simply brilliant. . But as we were coming back down from the Sun Gate, the energy had shifted. There were people. Lots of people. Everywhere. The Urban Sector was our final area left to explore. Explore we did, but quickly and efficiently, navigating through shoulder-to-shoulder crowds. By now, neither of us had much of a desire to stick around. The tipping point was passing by a frantic traveler — a middle-aged woman — literally screaming for help as if she or someone else had fallen…or been injured in some way...only to find that she had dropped her phone into a bush while trying to take a selfie. From her screams, you would have thought she had dropped her child. Nope, just the phone. Our moment of serenity at one of the new Seven Wonders of the World had come and gone. . With that, we exited, stamped our passports with the official MP stamp, bought bus tickets down the mountain (no way we were walking at that point!), and enjoyed an early lunch in Aguas Calientes before catching our train back to Cusco. . . . . #machupicchuperu #machupicchutravel #llamashirt #llamalove #llamamama #sungate #newsevenwondersoftheworld #newsevenwonders #perutravel #perudestinations #peruadventure #exploreperu #travelhelix #dontgochasinllamasyall SALKANTAY TREK — DAY 5 — MACHU PICCHU ⛰ Highest elevation 7,874 ft (2,400 m) ⌚️ 1.5 hours trekking, 4.5 hours walking in MP 👟 9.8 Miles . Our entrance tickets to Machu Picchu were for 6:00am. There are two ways to get to the entrance — hike up or take a bus. We had come this far — the decision was made, yet again, to hike! . Our morning started with a 3:30am ⏰ and followed like this: 4:00am in the hostel lobby. 4:30am at the hike’s starting point. 5:00am the stairs open and you can begin hiking up to MP’s entrance. There were probably 20 people in line in front of us, somewhere close to 80 behind us. It was pitch black. A bit cold. Quiet. Only the sounds of nature in the background (until 5:30 when the buses started to run). Someone said 600 steps. It was definitely more. Adam counted as a way to pass the time. He made it to 1000 and we were still 10 minutes from the top. . We arrived at the gate in 55 minutes. A wild feeling of relief settled in. I wanted to happy cry. I also immediately change my shirt 💦 The gates opened. We had finally made it. Only a few more stairs up to meet our guide for sunrise at this viewpoint 🌄The weather couldn’t have been better…it was yet another unforgettable moment from this beautiful 5-day journey ♡ . . . . #machupicchuperu #machupicchu #salkantaytrek #visitperu #discoverperu #sunriseoftheday #sunrise_pics #hiking_daily #hikingviews #hikingworldwide #earthoutdoors10k #adventurers #samepicdifferentday 😋
