Ok, so after taking over 1,800 photos in Peru, it was really hard to pick some of the best ones. I managed to narrow it down to 500, which took most of the night to upload to my Flickr page lol
Anyway, here are some of them. Keep in mind, these were during the hike, so I wasn't aming for "pro" results.
Enjoy.
