    Excellent video. I did a lot up near Yungay when I lived in Peru, but never got round to this area. Brilliant work 👍

    You're back Richard! 😁
    What are you using for footwear these days?

      Hey Jonathan, I’m using Adidas Terrex Brushwood trail runners and been really enjoying them. They’ve lasted over 300km so far, and is in pretty good shape given the mileage

    altitude went rough on you. gratz with enduring it, there are many who cant' manage this high without porter service.

      Thank you very much. We took a few days to acclimatise and it ended up being manageable and fun!

    Hi Richard, were you able to see Alpamayo from any part of the trek? I am a big guy (280 pounds) and 6 feet 3 inches tall. Should I not pursue this? I am fascinated by the mountains in the ancash region and was thinking about doing this specific trail.

    • @RichardCheng
      @RichardCheng  Рік тому

      Yes we were able to see Alpamayo - hard mountain to miss due to its distinctive shape!
      Tent wise you should be able to fit diagonally in the tent, especially if you sleep on your side slightly curled because of the sloping sides

    Amazing video! I plan to do this one and the Salkantay next month. Is there anything I should know about rules/regulations for wild camping? Will I be free to camp where ever I choose?

    • @RichardCheng
      @RichardCheng  Рік тому

      Hi Travis, on this trek there are dedicated campsites which are nice and flat, with good views. I’m not 100% sure about the regulations for wild camping, especially for the Salkantay trek which Liam and I did not do
