We’ll be caught up in no time.

The two videos below are from days three and four of the Gran Vilaya trek near Chachapoyas, Peru from last October. We were cold and rain-soaked, but our spirits were high the entire time. It was truly a spectacular adventure.

My mom and stepdad are coming out to visit us in a few days. They will be the first friends/family to travel specifically to meet up with us, and we feel honored. We are eagerly looking forward to their arrival.

We hiked from the Valle Belen, up into the remote cloud forest to explore recently discovered ruins of an ancient Chachapoya city called Pirquilla, and then down into the small, isolated village of Congon.

We got our Brazilian visas and planned our itinerary for the next few months in Peru. We are off to Tarapoto tomorrow and we’ll spend almost a week at the Abra Patricia Ecolodge. We plan on taking lots of photos and videos and making posts daily. While we were in Lima, Cyrus made a video that includes scenes about markets, festivals, music, security, and traffic. As always, we’d appreciate your comments, suggestions, and questions.

The kids also made many additions to their map, but since its kind of burried on the “about” page, I thought I’d link it to this post. See Below.
