Itinerary
The itinerary will be subject to change on short notice, if we notice that bad weather is rolling in in a certain location.
If that is the case we will reschedule and move around in the itinerary. All decisions will be taken along with the group with a suggestion from the tour leaders.
Day 1-4
You will be picked up in Cusco airport where we will spend our first days acclimatizing to the high altitudes. We will be surrounded by high altitudes once we leave Cusco, so it is important that we prepare ourselves in the best possible way. The first day we will spend relaxing, talking about our itinerary, as well as getting to know each other. On day two we will venture to the local market, where we will indulge in the delicious food and fruit, as well as taking some street photography.
Day three we will walk around the city, taking some street photos, as well as prepare for the beginning of our hike the following day.
Day 4-10
This is when the real adventure begins. Early on day 4 we are leaving to begin our trek around the Ausangate region. We will spend a total of 7 days and 6 nights, hiking around this incredible region. We will experience some of the most beautiful sights of our life, hiking among giant snowcapped mountain peaks, rural villages, multicolored mountains and alpacas. We will experience some incredible sights, sleeping in tents beneath the milky way, with the possibility of photographing the night sky in its full glory. It is a moderate to challenging hike, but not very technical. We will reach an altitude of 5200 meters, and walk in a pace that everyone can follow. For more info on the hike, feel free to contact me further.

As we leave the Ausangate region, we will head back to Cusco where we have an editing day and will relax before leaving again in the morning.

You can find me in rural villages in India searching for the best light. In the Chinese countryside photographing the locals and rice terraces. Or about to hike a mountain or volcano in South America or South East Asia in order to create something special.
As I finished my trip around Ecuador in 2013, I figured that I had found a new love. Not only the love for travel, but also of capturing beautiful moments and tell stories through photos.
Not long after I started studying photography on my own, and devoted every free hour to do so.
I slowly developed my style, and after a few years I started getting jobs from hotels, travel companies, product brands and car rentals.
I have worked with companies such as Visit Karakol, Lava car rental, Walking with nomads, Madeira Round Trip, Killa Expeditions, Trendhim, Ditur, Quintana Sao Joao and many more.
This tour has been created in order to allow you to photograph each destination, at the best possible time. I will ensure that you are at the right place, at the right time. Furthermore I will assist you in any way possible, hold talks regarding composition and light, but also about post processing in order to share my knowledge.
