Day one for: Team Pump Terry Up More

 

Hello Everyone,

Today we left Cusco early and headed toward the mountains. We had beautiful views along the way of some high snowy peaks in the Andes.

Our hike today was under beautiful blue skies and everyone did really well! We made good time and had time to shower, enjoy the jacuzzi, get checked into our rooms and have an incredible trout dinner.

Tomorrow will be an acclimatization day and a partial rest day. We’ve got a really strong group and are having a great time!

Talk to you soon, thanks for following!
