So instead we decided to pay a few soles for a taxi to a hydroelectric station. From there we hiked along the railroad tracks that cut through the jungle and dead end at Machu Picchu. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0c028d70e802a056ccb19b/1544892673177-EOA6U8W6TEPRKFB6GMPX/chilepark.jpeg South America 2017 - Parque Pumalín, Chile We spent a month or so volunteering at a food truck in the rural mountain town of Chaitén, Chile. Chaitén was destroyed by a volcano in 2008. The local beach is still covered in ashes. In our free time we would hitchike to Pumalín park, which was bought and preserved by American billionaire and conservationist Douglas Tompkins. He’s also a native of Conneaut, Ohio. Just saying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0c028d70e802a056ccb19b/1544369259600-FXDQ28JR2PRRPENZFSSA/IMG_4968.JPG South America 2017 - Carretera Austral, Chile We bused and hitchhiked our way down most of Chile’s famous Southern Highway, the Carretera Austral. This image was taken somewhere in rural Patagonia and is typical of how we would spend many mornings and afternoons. Larissa, myself, and an English girl we had met at a hostel the night before were waiting to get a ride further south. Little did we know we would end up getting picked up by two extremely kind Chilean girls. Those girls would end up driving Larissa and I down most of the Southern Highway. We became such good friends that we’ve invited them to our wedding in 2019! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0c028d70e802a056ccb19b/1544585227712-65BVVAX2LWMFPSBQ4CVE/20170520_140019542_iOS+1.jpg South America 2017 - São Paulo, Brazil We spent a good deal of our time couchsurfing, or in this case “floorsurfing”. We spent some time with friends who live in São Paulo’s Japanese district. We arrived just in time for an annual free street party where the city shuts down entire blocks and has concerts in the street all night. This is yours truly recovering after spending a night with the coolest cat, Zine (pronounced Zeeny)! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0c028d70e802a056ccb19b/1544586173975-NYP6MYRMMTPDD0JNBRTC/argentina.jpeg South America 2017 - The Chile, Argentina Border We managed to hitchhike, bus, and somehow drift our way to the main town through which most backpackers cross from the Chilean Patagonia into Argentina. Well, as we found out the next morning all buses to Argentina were cancelled indefinitely. So we said screw it and spent the day crossing the desert when in the distance appeared this magical sign… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0c028d70e802a056ccb19b/1544368658465-10H1EP1TTKSBU2PBYLS8/IMG_5023.JPG South America 2017 - Ventisquero Colgante, Chile We camped in Queulat National Park which is in the remote regions of southern Chile. The highlight of which was Ventisquero Colgante or the "Hanging Glacier” which is 1.4 km long and spans two mountains. As we reached the end of the trail and the glacier came into view we could hear giant chunks begin to break off as the afternoon sun melted the glacier. We managed to get this picture of the ice collapsing into the valley below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0c028d70e802a056ccb19b/1544369942307-6YBNCTVZSAZ3BA7MQXE4/IMG_3766.JPG South America 2017 - Ollantaytambo, Peru Larissa and I spent a couple months volunteering at a hotel in Peru’s sacred valley. We worked the reception area for a few hours a day and would use our days off to explore the surrounding mountains. This photo was taken during one of our daily walks to the town market. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0c028d70e802a056ccb19b/1544367898487-0KL6SLK6KTR6M7JOZL73/IMG_3202.JPG South America 2017 - Cabanaconde, Peru We spent a couple months volunteering at a bar and hostel in a small mountain town which sits at the edge of the Colca Canyon, the second deepest canyon on earth. We would work a few hours at night serving cheap beer and pollo milanesa to French tourists and explored the surrounding mountains on our days off. This photo was taken from the edge of town which provides great views of Sabancaya, an active 19,000 ft stratovolcano. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0c028d70e802a056ccb19b/1544892367296-RFN2J1W54I73N8CW2DOY/praia.jpeg South America 2017 - As praias do Brasil We spent a good deal of time in Larissa’s hometown of Recife. A morning ritual of ours was to walk to the beach and buy popsicles in strange flavors unlike anything I’ve ever had. As far as I know Americans don’t have a word for “Cajá”. It’s a Brazilian fruit that’s typically translated as “caja fruit”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0c028d70e802a056ccb19b/1544663738275-E7OMHM3WVGSG8FJL8G8F/IMG_4324.JPG South America 2017 https://www.ericdsexton.com/wedding daily 0.75 2019-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0c028d70e802a056ccb19b/1547324416266-12ZVZZTD0KYHPJO7JZLK/Convite+de+casamento+para+impressao.png Wedding 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0c028d70e802a056ccb19b/1544759539460-5KKKK7WU4PKL9RLKAPIJ/40382435_1909594282394597_260777348922605568_n.jpg Wedding 2019 Want to know what to do while you’re in Boulder?
